Ramadan 2009 ~ Views Of A Religion in Celebration

[MA-Caver]

I posted this because understanding helps lessen the hate, the stereotyping and misconception of a people... simply because they are of a different faith.
Like they say... the more you know.

In Muslim nations and regions around the globe, this is the first week of the holy month of Ramadan, a time for followers to abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activity during the day, breaking their fast each sunset, with traditional meals and sweets. During this time, Muslims are also encouraged to read the entire Quran, to give freely to those in need, and strengthen their ties to God through prayer. The goal of the fast is to teach humility, patience and sacrifice, and to ask forgiveness, practice self-restraint, and pray for guidance in the future.

This is obviously my favorite of the collection. Innocence no matter what the faith is still beautiful.
Enjoy
