After...Dear MnM310, its not really cheating is it? After all Ramadan isn't supposed to be a month of inflicting suffering on ourselves. We are asked to observe rituals of abstaining from food and drink between certain hours, but at the same time to protect ourselves and look after our health and well-being. Its all about balance, sense and wisdom more than sheer suffering, I think. I feel ramadan is more about improving ourselves and remembering, and to achieve on these through observing the disciplines of self-control, patience and natural patterns. I agree that others may suffer more, but not sure its the point for us to mirror others' suffering. On the contrary, we should aim to reduce theirs.<BR/><BR/>ma salaama<BR/><BR/>MCMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444894242246779645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-1159205133143212992006-09-25T18:25:00.000+01:002006-09-25T18:25:00.000+01:00wouldnt u call that cheating in a way?

They may have to work in harsh weather conditions, do physical labor, not even have enough to eat for sahoor, etc... Over here, we get ta sit aroudn in a/c'd buildings, forgo walking or any physical activities if we please, etc... and I think that the least we could do is suffer a headache. <BR/><BR/>salaams :)MnM310https://www.blogger.com/profile/03029670729957137257noreply@blogger.com
