10 ways to get the best out of Ramadan fasting

8. Free time to visit and share

One of the lessons of the month is sharing and empathising with the less fortunate. The haves are made to experience the plight of the have-nots who have to go hungry for lack of means. It is a time to draw near to them and share our meals at break of fasts. It is also a time to reach out to our friends and relations whom we haven’t seen for some time. Although the pressure of work may not allow us go out as much as we would like, telephone calls and messages should be maximised to reach out.
