About
Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Muslims worldwide are eager to boost their spirituality, seek forgiveness, communal support, and abstinence of food and water to empathize with the less fortunate and gain a better focus on our true nature and purpose in life. This blog aims to create an additional place where talents worldwide share their excitement and inspiration through writing, tips, poetry, and recipes. At FST, we dislike the word NO. We always try to be hopeful and avoid the disappointment of buzzing writers especially those who are interested in writing but have contacted us after the deadline or publication release of Farah Ramadan Magazine. Instead of waiting for the next Ramadan, we say, stay do not worry, here is your space.
“If you look for problems, you will find problems. If you look for solutions, you will find solutions.”

Why Do We Need To Fast?
By Michelle Schafieh
Ramadan. It is that time of year again when you are checking the time more than you are checking Snapchat, where you are talking less to those around you in fear of scaring them off with your breath, and where you are receiving all sorts of questions from those around you.
