Lets not forget the less fortunate...

As the world preparing to welcome the holy month of Ramadhan, there are millions of Muslims all over the world are facing humanitarian crisis most largely the war-torn country.

In Afghanistan for example, up to five millions Afghans face severe food shortages according to OXFAM, the British charity organization.

Daikundi province is the worst area which is badly hit where people fighting for their lives to survive.

Meanwhile in Kashmir, with the tightened of curfew and shortages of commodities resulted from economic blockade imposed by Indian government, Muslims in India-ruled Kashmir are bracing for hard times during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.


Indian authorities have slapped a tight curfew since Sunday, August 24, to block pro-independence demonstrations by the Muslim majority.Most mosques in the region remained closed as people were forced to remain indoors.


Many Kashmiris still don't find food to buy for Ramadan. Stores in Srinagar, home to one million Muslim, are already running out of supplies.

There you go, another version of welcoming Ramadhan for the less fortunate Muslims. As for Malaysians mostly, Ramadhan is a month to please their uncontrollable desire where money will be spent wastefully at the Bazar Ramadhan.

'May Ramadhan al-mubarak brings you joy and happiness'
