Every year when Ramazan starts I have alot of questions in my mind. We all have been listening since our childhood that what is the object of fasting. Fasting helps us to develop self-restraint, self-purification, compassion, the spirit of caring and sharing,the love of humanity and the love of God.
When we talk about all these things, do we really care about it in Ramazan. The month of Ramazan is a blessing for us to realize these spirits and follow them to our whole life but what I observed we just talk about this but not really feel from depth of our heart. Fasting doesn't mean just starving whole day.Ramazan gives us a break and provides us with a rare opportunity to think about ourownselves but do we really think about ourselves?
I dont think so that any change comes in our behaviour in Ramazan rather than what I feel that during fasting usually people get more infuriated.They also don't refrain from lying. Some people don't offer pray even in Ramazan.They just observe fast and keep sleeping whole day and what about Taraveeh people just observe it seven days and leave the whole month Taraveeh. It's not right. People expend alot of money in Iftar Parties. We can give that money to someone who really deserve it and when the end of Ramazan comes we forget all the things and just get busy in Eid's preparation.Music is played in high volume in markets. One thing I still remember before three days of Eid when I was going somewhere I saw a huge poster of Indian movie out side the cinema. I really felt sorry at that time and I was thinking when we will care about all these things? When we will start thinking what is the meaning of fasting?
