hey guys, been away for a week and my control panel had all these 'updated' forums waiting for me.

coelho's right. fasting in ramadhan more like an exercise to control your desires and for me, knowing that your food is on the table and wait till a specific time to eat it.. i think that's a form of controlling desires. it is not just food. any 'intake' into the body breaks the idea of fast. no cigarettes, no water etc. it's also about overcoming addiction which, at the first place is a great vice itself additcion is.

furthermore, because of poverty and the history of poverty, one should know the poor starve and long for a meal. remember.. for people like you and me, being hungry is almost abstract. we've never starved for longer than a couple of hours at the most.. since we all have homes, food and most of us have family's support too.

people these days have a great misconception about islam and its teachings. the media has portrayed it differently. sadly the uneducated and the narrow minded people have clinged onto uncontexted phrases of islam and have made a bad name of their own religion.

i'd like to clarify everything you guys ask =]
