Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The long period of fasting is referred to as Ramadan. Muslims believe they are brought closer to God through fasting because of following beliefs and practices:

  • It is the month which the Quran was sent down
  • Allah says in the Quran that fasting was prescribed to you just as it was prescribed to those before you. Because of this, Muslims believe that they are following the practice of the people of the past in worshipping Allah through fasting
  • Fasting expiates sins
  • Muslims observe lots of pieties during this period
  • There are so many rewards during this period
  • <em>And lots more</em>

State one criticism that this cartoonist is making about the 1920s generation
motikmotik
The forefather is paddling or beating the 1920s generation because the 1920s generation is having the attitude of discontentment although he has everything the world can offer. He was tempted by the material things but then still unsatisfied with what he has. The forefather just wanted the 1920s generation to be like him most likely thrifty, economical, and prudent.
