ramadan and lynas

Ramadan has started in Malaysia. It is the month of fasting during which Muslims refrain from dawn until sunset from eating, drinking and sexual relations. This is a month of spiritual reflection and worship. Purity of thoughts and actions is stressed. The heart is to be directed away from wordly activities. Muslims are encouraged to practice self discipline, self control, sacrifice and empathy toward those who are less fortunate. Actions of charity and generosity are encouraged. The focus is oriented toward spiritual cleansing, enlightenment, and self reformation. The emphasis is on sharing and giving. Charity is a very inportant aspect of Islam. This is especially true during the month of Ramadan. One of the pillars of Islam is the obligatory giving of a fixed portion of one's savings or Zakat. Good deeds are thought to be more richly rewarded if exrcised during Ramadan than during any other month of the year. Whether Ramadan has any bearing on the fate of Lynas and the granting of the TOL is open to speculation. However granting the TOL during Ramadan would be a charitable act!!!
