Looking down at his
watch, Ali rushes to get home before the cannon
boom signals it is time to eat and drink again.
Because it is Ramadan, Ali has not eaten or
drank anything since sunrise this morning.
Thirsty and hungry, exhausted from the heat of
the day, Ali weaves his taxi through traffic,
refusing all passengers. He must get home to his
family so they can break the fast together at
sundown.
Sisters Noor and Bushra sit with their family at
home, stomachs full from a big feast they ate
together at sunset. They laugh and talk together
well past midnight and eagerly watch an epic
drama produced for Ramadan on television. That
night, shortly before 4 AM, they wake up
simultaneously and see a man dressed in white
standing at the foot of their bed. He reaches
out his arms to them and smiles, motioning for
them to come. The sisters immediately recognize
him as Jesus.
Each year dedicated Muslims throughout Lebanon,
Syria, Jordan, Iraq and other parts of the world
observe the Islamic month of Ramadan by
abstaining from food, drink, sex, and smoking
during daylight hours.
For the past two weeks committed Muslims have
been fasting during the day as a means of
seeking blessing and gaining more intimacy with
God. Determined Muslims participate in this
systematic fasting annually to purify their
lives and gain favor with God. Besides fasting,
Muslims focus on giving more to the poor and
living better lives during Ramadan.
During this special month, Muslims' openness to
spiritual things is greatly increased. There are
even nights called "nights of power," when both
Sunni and Shiite Muslims pray all night at their
neighborhood mosques, eagerly expecting God to
hear and respond to them.
