Ameera of Between Dusk and Dawn… reflects on her personal attempts at Tazkiya (purification of the soul), during the blessed month of Ramadan:

If I can be happy and comfortable without flipping through movie channels and serials (that have little practical good in them) in this month, then why not the rest of the year? Why give in to the false notion of “I need this kind of (switch-your-brain-off-and-laugh-yourselves-to-death) entertainment to be culturally educated and informed!” or “I need this to stay happy!”

Organic Muslimah also asks a similar question: Why only in Ramadan?
