Fasting Strengthens Communities
The communal objective of present day Ramadan is no different than how our early generation of role models perceived it. Ramadan is not just a time to rejoice upon its arrival, dismay upon its departure, lose the rewards eventually, regress to the previous state, and wait for another one year for its return.
Instead, Ramadan should be viewed with this broader outlook of community building and welcomed wholeheartedly for what it aspires to establish within us.
