Even if they lure me by giving me the title of the Head of the Animal Kingdom...
I am not an animal.
Even if science tells me that I have the same anatomy and biology as animals...
I don not agree that I am an animal.
My structure and function do not define me.
Have you ever seen a hungry animal finding food but not eating?
Or a thirsty animal offered clean cold water but refraining from drinking?
Or absconding the drive for sex when tempted?
Or angered but responding with a cool quiet smile?
This is how we behave in Ramadan: Thank you Allah for making us human.
Thank you for reminding us of the difference between being human and being only an animal.
Thank you for Ramadan.
