A Chinese family of three, mother, father and daughter who embraced Islam

This news story, from Gulfnews, is a couple of months old but it recently caught my attention. It discusses the experience of Ramadan of new converts to Islam. They also talk about a Chinese family of three who converted to Islam. Here are the relevant excerpts from the story.

A Chinese family of three, mother, father and daughter who embraced Islam two months ago, said Ramadan is an experience although it has been difficult since it is the first time they have abstained from food and drink.


The 26-year-old daughter who chose Fatima as her name, told Gulf News through a translator, that she was feeling thirsty throughout the day and did not eat enough at suhoor because she is not used to eating at dawn.
