3rd Sunday of the BAR: During the Month of Ramadhan

Putting up the second AMAL banner
is as symbolic as the first one.

Certain sacrifices and adjustments
are made to strengthen the group and its mission.

The 3rd Sunday Bar Operations continues... ; )

These photos were taken at the AMAL HQ, Orchid Garden,
on September 16, 2007.

AMAL Bar Ops during the month of Ramadhan

In the middle of the bar operations,
and before fasting,

AMAL members ate together.

~ sharing food and exchanging insightful stories ~

"Fasting in Ramadan develops in a person the real spirit of social belonging,
of unity and brotherhood, and of equality before God.
This spirit is the natural product of the fact that when people fast they feel that they are joining the whole Muslim society (which makes up more than one fifth of world's population) in observing the same duty, in the same manner, at the same time, for the same motives, and for the same end. No sociologist or historian can say that there has been at any period of history anything comparable to this powerful institution of Islam: Fasting in the month of Ramadan. People have been crying throughout the ages for acceptable 'belonging', for unity, for brotherhood, for equality, but how echoless their voices have been, and how very little success they have met..." says Hammudah Abdalati, in Islam in Focus.

While waiting for the barristers to pass-by
(to give them the last minute tips...)

These few good men still manage to show their best smiles
after a hard day-and-night's work.


Salam! (peace!)
Thank you, AMIN (Anak Mindanao)
for the support!
