Sacrificing meals for a fixed period makes us aware of the less fortunate and more likely to give them alms.
Many of us walk through this world never experiencing what it is like to actually feel hunger or thirst. The truth is that hundreds of millions of people are plagued with shortages of water, shortages of food, and shortages of the means to acquire food or water.
As we fast and feel the longing within us to eat or drink, it is important to remember that while we are choosing this, others are not. Take time during Ramadan to pray for the less fortunate and if you are able to help them in a material way, do so.
In the process you will find yourself empowered to make the world a better place, a lesson that we are often forgetful of in a world in which it increasingly seems we have no control.
