Puasa

Recently my Islamic friends around the world started their puasa. What is puasa? According my Islamic friend said that puasa derives from Sanskrit meaning ‘fasting or abstention’.

Fasting month is called the month of Ramadhan. And Ramadhan is a special month of the year to all the Muslims throughout the world.

The daily period of fasting starts at the breaking of dawn and ends at the setting of the sun. In between, that is, during the daylight hours we Muslims totally abstain from food, drink, smoking, and marital sex. The usual practice is to have a pre-fast meal (suhoor/ Sahur) before dawn and a post-fast meal (iftar) after sunset.

I have received some BUAH KURMA from my practical company. This is because most of staff at my practical company are Malay. They are islamic. There are many types of 'Buah Kurma' and they are of different prices too. These, like the Buah Kurma, are also as tasty and contains lots of iron and carbohydrate.
