This is the latest picture of my son together his friend Iking. They always play outside our house with their toys. Just like any other children they also fight once in a while. My mother took this picture outside of our house. They tried to do the same pose but Iking didn't know how to do it. They are both the same age but my son is smaller than his friend. I'm worried that my son will not grow up normally. I hope that it won't happen.
No classless today nationwide here in the Philippines because it is Ramadan that's why some kids are really happy because they can play with their friends today.
What Ramadan anyway??Ramadan is the name of the ninth month of the Hijri (Islamic) calendar. According to the Dictionary of Islam, the word Ramadan is derived from the word ramd, "to burn" (Ramadan is associated with fasting, during which sins are said to be figuratively burned away).
Fasting (Sawm) is one of the core five pillars of Islam. The others are: Shahadah (the testimony of faith), Salat (ritual prayer), Zakat (obligatory religious almsgiving), and the Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca). During this month Muslims from around the world are required to fast from dawn to dusk. During the fast Muslims may not eat, drink, smoke, or engage in sexual activity. Although fasting is made obligatory to believers of Islam, some groups are excluded: children who are not yet adolescent, the elderly and the chronically ill for whom fasting would be unreasonably strenuous, pregnant women and nursing mothers, the mentally retarded, travelers, and women during periods of menstruation
All Muslim are celebrating the end of fasting today that's why President Gloria Arroyo announced nationwide to have no classes to join the celebration.
