The merciful and the merciless
The month of Ramadan is one which should be the best of all months. People around us should emulate the beauty of Ramadan; they should be merciful, kind, generous and loving. However, unfortunately, for many households, this is not the case.
Ramadan is a month where a home should be enlightened with the words of al-Qur'an, yet many homes are just houses crammed with words of abuse. It is during this month that many houses suffer the most. The hunger and long working hours make some people more moody than usual. Their outbursts are louder than usual, their frustrations are more intense than usual; and the victim bears the brunt - as usual.
