Muslims Begin Fasting Today

Muslims across the world have today commenced a month-long period of fasting, a spiritual exercise which constitutes one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.

In Gambia, the Islamic faith is one of the two Abrahamic faiths and as such during this month-long spiritual exercise, which has somewhat coincided with the Christian Lent, it is important that we wish those fasting Godspeed and blessings.
