Story Overview
Salma was determined to fast the entire month of Ramadan, eagerly waiting for the Maghrib call to prayer and the sound of the Ramadan cannon to break her fast. As her hunger grew, so did her excitement for the Iftar meal. Unable to resist the tempting aroma of food wafting through the house, she began filling her plate with everything—appetizers, soup, main courses, and desserts—in large quantities!
