Al-Qalam 
World Assembly of Muslim Youth South Africa wishes you and your family a blessed Ramadan filled with peace and joy. May your fasting and Ibadah be accepted, and may this sacred month bring you closer to Allah’s mercy and blessings.
God, the Blessed and Exalted, did not make the obligation of fasting an individual duty that the Muslim performs at any time he wants, but he made it a limited number of days, the days of the holy month of Ramadan, as a collective duty that is obligatory for the entire Muslim nation at one time so that individual reform bears fruit on the collective level.
The whole community participates in the performance of the obligatory fasting and exercises its social interactions so that its effect will be extended from the individual to the community as a whole by linking up between the private and the public and between individual worship and the collective performance, where the entire nation is fasting, except for the exception: “( 184 ) So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] – then an equal number of days [are to be made up]..”
The major obligations of Islam target this individual with care, education, guidance and recommendation, moving from the private to the general and from the individual to the group.
Ramadan reminds a person that he is a member of the community who fasts with them, starves like them, abstains as they abstain, and breaks the fast if they break their fast, so he is from them and with them.
If a Muslim feels this feeling, he will show them benefit, love, and jealousy, so he will be careful not to sink the ship, and he will hold the hands of those who think to cause harm to it as he is among its passengers, and bears some of their responsibility.
