A fasting day

yesterday was the first day in ramadan, as hard as it may sound for non muslims that we don't eat or drink from dawn till sunset as it is strangely considered one of the loveliest months in the whole year, we wait for it, we cheer for it and we goodbye it with tearing eyes. Yesterday when i and some family were having our iftar, u find all thanking Allah for the blessing of food and water, especially how they admired water. When u ask any muslim why do u fast? the answer u will get most probably would be to experience what the poor feel when there is no food to eat, no water to drink. But, is that really it? On a second thought while enjoying the blessing of my Iftar i pictured it that way, a fasting day is a lesson, it is a faith experience, why do we stay all day with no food and no water while they are infront of us, why do we have to wait for more than half of the day to eat?

If we imagine life minimized in one day (Which actually it would be like that at the end) we will see that if we keep hungry and thirsty the whole day we for sure would eat and drink after sunset, life is exact the same thing, no matter how hard it is, no matter how cruel it could be, if we have faith then we will find everything waiting for us at the end. My friends why are we so happy about ramadan, while if we look it from one side u will find it is a month of hunger, thirst, we are happy about ramadan cuz we get to enjoy the experience of real faith in it, the faith we use to keep away from food, water and other life deserts, we welcome hunger and thirst and we actually enjoy it, why? cuz we do it for Allah that we love so much and that we know he is so mercifull on us, why can't we apply the model of the fasting day to our life, why doesn't we enjoy life, and welcome it knowing that with faith in Allah everything would just end perfect just like a day full of hunger, thirst and abstinence of other life deserts would end by a tasty meal, cold nice beverage and a good sleep.

I'll quote saying: "Time can heal a broken heart, but faith can heal EVERYTHING"
