Awash tries fasting

“Can I help you in the kitchen, please mother? I will be very, very careful! I can wash the dishes.” Mother looked at me and smiled. “Awash, you are going to do something special today. You can prepare something traditional.” I am speechless with delight! Just before the Iftar the kitchen comes alive – it gets loud and exhales aromas of many kinds. There is so much of joy. “Alhamdillulah,” said grandmother under her breath as if she could hear my thought.
