Often, I’ve been reminded that now, with a kid, I need to watch what I say. Vulgar, obscene words still can be heard coming out from my mouth. I do feel ashamed when I say it in the presence of my son but I can’t help it, now with Ramadan, I am forced to practice refraining from these things.
You see, its not just about fasting, its about spiritual cleansing too. Not thinking about things that are not morally right, not saying things to hurt others, you know that sort of thing.

Other than that, its a health benefit too. As my colleagues and some of my friends remind me its like a super-detox.

So to all those fasting, good luck, well wishes and may Allah help you in every step of the way.
