Review of Ramadan Fasting

In a post-9/11 era where muslim and arabs are looked at with scorn and distrust this piece offer a fresh breath of words that enhance the spiritualality of Islam. The act of fasting, as it is explained through classical arab poetry, is a self-imposed ritual or action that reminds the body and soul of a human that to be closer with god one must rid himself or herself of all personal attachments.
