For the next 29 or 30
days, Muslim faithful in Nigeria and in different parts of the world will
abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk. Ramadan is one of the key tenets
or pillars of the religion and many Nigerians can wait for it to start. Jumia
Travel, the leading online travel agency shares reasons Nigerians love
fasting.
Free
food
There is so much to eat
and drink during fasting especially when it is time to break the fast. Many
mosques dish out free food that even non-Muslims come around to eat.
Save
more
Since you will spend less,
there is every likelihood that you will save more when compared to the days you
are not fasting.
No
flirty eyes
This is for men
especially. They are encouraged to lower their gaze and be more conscious of
what they look at. This is because lusting over a woman and almost undressing
her with their eyes may render their fast null and void.
Less
smoking and drinking
Muslim customers who drink
and smoke will not patronise bars for the next month. It is an opportunity for
them to quit these habits that are not permissible in the religion. Regardless,
some people cannot resist the temptation as they go in the evenings after fast
to take a whiff.
They
are more spiritual
It is during Ramadan you
find people who do not pray nor open their Qu'ran performing these acts of
worship. They discover their spirituality.
