Id Mubarak, to all dear friends and readers.
The holy month of Ramzaan comes to a close. A time of slowing down, a time for reflection, a time for meditation, a time for study of the Holy Qu’raan, and a time for learning. And more importantly, a time for forgiveness, and a time for charity. It has been a month of prayers – prayers for peace, prayers for amity, prayers for friendship and benevolence.
