For new converts to Islam, fasting can be a challenge both physically and mentally.
(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - For new converts to Islam, fasting can be a challenge both physically and mentally.
But judging by the fairly new converts The Malay Mail
recently met at the Muslim Welfare Organisation of Malaysia (Perkim) in
Jalan Ipoh, they have become accustomed to fasting throughout Ramadan.
Wani Saleha Abdullah 35, embraced Islam shortly after arriving in Sabah in February 2009 and works as a part-time maid.
"My
very first day of fasting two years ago was very difficult and I was
only able to fast for the first week before giving up," said Wani, who
lives with her Sabahan husband, a soldier, and his son from a previous
marriage, in Ampang.
"Last year, I managed to fast
continuously for the first two weeks and for this year, I believe I can
fast the entire month of Ramadan."
