I love this show, I know they are just 2 min clips but it is so nice to see what other Muslims do during Ramadan. I love seeing the wide group of people who are all doing the same stuff as me. I feel its nice having a little insight into their lives and it I feel its a good way to educate non-Muslims of what we do and what Ramadan is about.
I have always loved Ramadan and the fact that almost the whole Muslim community in England is eating at roughly the same time. Also we are all waking up at the same time all to please Allah and better ourselves as Muslims.

Ramadan
This Ramadan I have really realised the importance of water.
We have had a hot British summer and at work the air con has been broken. I work as a manager in a retail store so we are always running around and in this heat it has been tiring. So I have really realised how important water, something we take for granted is.
Then I thought about those millions of people who are fasting in countries which are always hot. How hard it must be for them and how much they must crave water. Millions of them will never get clean water to drink and will quench their thirst with dirty water.
I know I will get food and water after the sun goes down but many of them may not have eaten in the morning for sheri and have nothing to eat at Iftar. They have to live without food all day everyday through out the year. They may have a meal twice a week and the inequalities of this world go through your mind.
Surely there must be something wrong with the system. I know the zakat I pay will help some people but is it really enough. We need a change - the immensely rich have enough money to share, do they really need a mansion in every country in the world.
I don't have the answers but it makes me sad to think we live in a world where the rich get richer and the poor get ignored.
