Insh’ Allah is a religious philosophy in one word. What will be will be.

We all have heard the word Ramadan but very few of us know what is involved.

Is it a form of Muslim masochism or a religious commitment, or a psychological thing proving a point about personal self control ?

The word it self means sun baked sand, intense scorching heat.

The Christian world has the equivalent called Lent.

Of course they are not the same but then I would hazard a guess that RAMADAN in Dubai is light years different than Ramadan in Iraq or Afghanistan or Palestine.

Ramadan is the holy month that the Quran was sent down from the heavens.

Waste is another Arabic word you keep hearing. It’s the equivalent of what we call networking in the west. It’s about as close as they get to democracy.

The Hajj is by far the biggest religious event in the world.

We might do well to remember that Muslims are Muslims but they are like us human beings.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
