THERE IS A SUBTLE, EMOTIONAL CHANGE AMONGST US HUMANS RIGHT NOW

 During the last couple of years, I have realised something significant. As a writer, you are always realising things because of the process of writing, research, analysing, reflecting and writing again. The biggest help are readers. Where will we be without our beloved readers?  There are two sides to every coin.  One, pessimistic and realistic. End of the world, sins, doom, gloom, misery. The other is optimistic and positive. Things happen for reason. We shall overcome. Do not worry; be happy. Be.

Yes, just be.

I am not an expert on the holy Quran.

 However, words from Sura 2- The Cow (the oldest of the Medina Chapters said to have been revealed in April 622) may illuminate today’s topic about Ramadan.

 “Oh believers! A fast is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may fear God.”

Fear of God is one of the most revered words in all religions. And this fright was better elaborated by Sheikh Mohammed Nassor (of East London mosque) when closing a Futari dinner at the Tanzanian High Commission last Saturday.

 Insisting on unity and love the esteemed Sheikh explained: “You should not fear God but rather stay closer to Him.”
