During this ongoing holy month, Muslims from all over the globe keep fast and perform Namaz. The rich eat good food Sehri and Iftar, but the poor sometimes get just water to open their fast or some dates from neighbours for Iftar. I wish I was rich enough to help every single needy person in my area and, if possible, the world.
Keeping fast does not simply mean abstaining from food and drink. The purpose is to feel the pain of poor people who are hungry. This month reminds us that we all have a responsibility to help the poor as much as we can.
