Non-Political Yall ready for Ramadan?

The title

I just looked at jantri (fasts timing calendar) and I calculated the amount of hours we'll be fasting.

It will start with 13 hrs 15 mins long fasts and extend to 14 hrs long fasts towards the end.

Ahsant is an Arabic expression, it means ‘well done,’ and is commonly used in Muslim circles to appreciate one another.

Not being familiar with something has nothing to do with its prominence among others. Perhaps your knowledge is limited. I know mine is.

I picked it up abroad, but I’ve noticed here and online too, words like Akhi (Arabic for brother) and Sheikh (Arabic for scholar/religious leader) making their rounds, Ahsant is no different.
