Happy Eidul Fitr

Tomorrow the 29Th of September mark the end of fasting, the holy month of Ramadan. I wish all visitors to suntoumana a happy eidul fitr. May we live to witness next year's Ramadan. The month of fasting is a great experience for all who practice it. one stays away from his food, drink, snacks, teas, coffees, his husband and wife and anything that one gets pleasure from. This abstinence is all for the sake of Allah. That is why God states in the Quran that only he can say reward the person who fast.
We fast because Allah commanded us to do it. It is out of God consciousness that Muslims fast. There are other benefits of fasting, among them is feeling the longing for what one will usually take for granted. There are millions of people who can't afford the small things that many takes for granted. fasting is a unique experience, even non-Muslims should try it to experience the feeling. I mean full fasting. Some people fast but would drink a little water and can smoke etc (lens). for Muslims fasting mean complete abstinence. During the night, Muslims eat and drink and also cohabit with spouses.
All adult muslims should attend the eid prayer. it is a strong sunnah. On the 26 of September, i attended the revert ceremony of a British lady in Nuneantion west midlands who fast the whole of the Ramadan whilst not a Muslim. finally on the 26Th of September she made up her mind to enter Islam. she did all this by her won accord, she research and consulted other British white Muslims and then revert.
Finally happy eid to all.
