Many people say that I look arrogant, but when you get to know me, you will know what kind of person I am. I'm not an active person, I just like to sleep.

1. Concessions in Fasting:

Islam acknowledges that there are circumstances where individuals may face difficulties in observing the fast during Ramadan, including illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding, traveling, and old age.

In such cases, they are allowed to break their fast temporarily and Qada' (make up for the missed days) later when the impediment ceases.

The concessions granted are considered a mercy and blessing from Allah.

2. Paying Fidyah (Compensation):

Fidyah is the compensation paid by those unable to fast due to valid reasons and also unable to make up for missed fasts later.

The amount of Fidyah is equivalent to feeding a needy person for each missed day of fasting. This could be done by providing a meal or its monetary equivalent to someone in need.

3. Ramadan, the Month:

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, during which Muslims around the world observe fasting from dawn until sunset.

The 17th day of Ramadan holds special significance in Islamic history as it is believed to be the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel in the cave of Hira.

Meaning: a strong attitude toward nature indicates that a person appreciates the natural environment and values experiences with end in nature, whereas a person with a weak attitude toward nature is largely indifferent to the natural environment.

Why should we show appreciation for nature:

- The natural world is an incredible wonder that is inspired us all. It underpins our economy, our society indeed our very existence. Our forests rivers oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we irrigate our crops with.

Do the campaign

Appreciate what God has sent down to earth. Look at that thing as sustenance because if we don't have all of this, how are we going to live?

God has given us all kinds of things so God has given us trust to take care of them in a balanced manner.

Our trust is to manage the sustenance we get in balance, not too much.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Allah created a perfectly balanced world on the basis of sustainability and circularity. This balance must be maintained by man acting moderately, thoughtfully, and justly. Waste, pollution, and distraction are the very qualities that Allah abhors.

2. What are the values of Islamic sustainability:

Islamic values urge all humans to develop, use, and manage natural resources in a sustainable manner. Humans are viewed as extra trustees (Khalifah) who are responsible for making sure that all resources are used in a sustainable manner.
