The blessed iftar

This is with reference to the article “The blessed iftar experience” by Shahmeer Asif (YW, March 23rd). The article highlighted the true meaning of togetherness. It showed how during iftar, people come together, feeling love and kindness, regardless of their caste or status.

This simple mealtime is important both religiously and in terms of human connection. It brings people from different cultures and classes closer, creating strong bonds and cherished memories among family members.

Moonlit memories

This is regarding the story “Moonlit memories,” by Aliza Hina (YW, March 16). The story was a great reminder to all those who often forget to appreciate what they have in the present while dwelling in the past.

The story served as a good reminder to live in the present and appreciate what we have now, rather than longing for things from the past.

Rabia keeps a fast

This is regarding the article “Rabia keeps a fast,” by Muhammad Arham Usman (YW, March 30). The story depicted a real-life scenario that often occurs to both new and experienced individuals who are fasting.

Oftentimes, one forgets that they are fasting and unintentionally eat or drink something. However, as the story conveyed, the fast is not broken but remains intact, if done mistakenly. Moreover, I agree with the writer’s view that fasting teaches us self-control and reinforces one’s faith and piety.

The story “Rabia keeps a fast” by Muhammad Arham Usman highlighted that if we accidentally break our fast, there’s no need to cry. Instead, one must ask for forgiveness from God because the fast is still valid.

Fasting is for Allah; He knows our intentions. Allah is very merciful; He knows what is in our heart and can see how regretful we are.
