FASTING IS MORE THAN YOU THINK IT IS


Starvation
I been fasting
Its been hard
It does get easier
Except i get a beautiful meal
At the end of the day
I am ever so grateful TO GOD FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL MEAL
The Energy we lack normally we just so lazy until we realize how essential food is to us
How much energy we lack in fasting makes me wonder of those kids working with not a glass of clean water
In the boiling desert walking for miles at a time before drinking dirty water
Then i hear people go on about the fasting we do in Ramadhan
People think fasting is so stupid
I AM NOT HAPPY TO HEAR THIS
So if you think its stupid
Do you not care for those who drink dirty water
Would you drink dirty mop water
Well i seen it done
It is just not fair
I can wake up at dawn and drink as much clean fresh sheffield water as i want before my fast from sunrise to sunset
To make the day easier for me i can eat too
They can't
Some have no running water
Or no food
They starve
No food or water for days, weeks, months, they then DIE!
The parents cry and cry
Their only wish is to keep their children happy and fed
I know what it feels like to be so thirsty
We can break our fast for illnesses, menstruation and other things, even extreme thirst
They don't drink this cool delicious fresh water
IT IS NOT GOD'S FAULT
THIS IS GOOD FOR US THAT HE IS TESTING US
STOP BLAMING GOD
GOD IS THE MOST MERCIFUL
IF YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
GET A GOOD HEART
OR CLEAN IT

Our fasting is good for us
To cleanse our soul from all we done
We are encouraged to do more zakkah
Give more to the poor
When we give our money to those in need

Fasting is good for you...
More prayers are excepted especially in the last ten nights
So we pray and pray and pray to help people
Can you not see
God gave this blessed month
Why only a month
Its to give us self controll
God gives us this extra time for Him to help us
He does because i have been helped
My mom and family are all proof
I got friends here who helped me

If we had all year to pray and have what we want
We'd have No self controll
We'd be greedy and not have hardships or learn anything
There would be no point in this life
We'd all be in Heaven
Right?
So no point to be here

Just remember this is the month to think of those less fortunate
Time to clean our minds
Our souls
And our hearts
Forget about this worldly goods, the oppression of society
Give all you can give...
Its the month to stop being so selfish

Would you want to starve or die of thirst
Does this month not tell you a good story
Of how much God loves us
He loves the whole world

GOD GIVES US THE CHANCE TO HELP THEM
SO WE CAN BE REWARDED BY HIM...
DO YOU NOT GET IT
ITS NOT GOD'S FAULT
STOP BEING IGNORANT

Now i am done
Case Closed
No questions asked
