When we fast in Ramadan, we inevitably think of those who feel hunger every day of the year. We experience hunger and look forward to breaking our fast with the food we eat at iftar. Can you imagine if no food was available at sunset? Millions of people face this crisis, their hunger does not end at sunset. We know the grim statistics: About 850 million people in the world are undernourished (that is one in every six human beings), and 5.6 million children under the age of five die from hunger-related illnesses each year. Yet, our world produces enough food to feed twice the global population (Raja). So why are people hungry? A lack of power and justice, not of food, causes hunger. Today, world hunger is directly linked to what and how the developed world eats

No doubt Prophet Muhammad will be weeping in his grave when he comes to the realization about the manner in which Muslims have been tearing one another apart. Wherever one looks one can either sees or hears Muslims fighting or throwing dust in one another’s eyes. From the Middle East to Africa, Shiites fight Sunnis vis- a-viz all in the name of Islam. What is however sad is when one sees Muslim pundits fighting their colleagues for Imamate or other Islamic titles. Interestingly, Sierra Leone is not left out in this quagmire as she too has joined the line of fighters for Muslim positions.
