Vol. 4, No. 4 : August, 2007 

 


welcome to the zubedy community

Peace everyone! We meet again in the 4th Edition of the zubedy OneRace Newsletter. More news and views from us... Let's check it out!

Since Ramadan is just around the corner, we themed this edition of the zubedy’s OneRace Newsletter to fasting.

Fasting is part and parcel of spiritual traditions - old and new around the world. In a fast, the believer chooses, for a set time, to do without something that is hard to do without. Fasting for religious and spiritual reasons has been a part of human custom since pre-historical and it’s stated in almost all major world scriptures.

At zubedy, we see universality in fasting. We celebrate our oneness as human, varied yet similar. Such we look forward to share this passion with you.

Shared Values: - Fasting

  • Great are those who suffer fasting's hardship, yet they are surpassed by those who suffer hard words. ~ Tirukural 160
  • Make an island onto yourself. Strive without delay; fast; become wise. Purged of stain and passionless, you will not come again to birth and old age. ~Buddha
  • Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their rewards in full ~Matthew 6:16
  • O you who believe! Fasting as prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may (learn) self restrain ~Quran(2.183)

Well, that should wrap up The zubedy OneRace Newsletter for now. Let’s meet again in the next edition, with more interesting ideas, guidelines, best practices, and relevant information. Watch out for The zubedy OneRace Newsletter, Hari Malaysia Special Edition!
