Once Persian mystic Khaqani was eating dates during the daytime in the holy month of Ramzan. Seeing this, a holier-than-thou said, 'What are you doing? You're not observing roza, fast?' He cursed and abused Khaqani and went away. The great mystic looked skyward and said, 'I'm eating dates instead of fasting and thanking you. And there are people who abuse their fellow beings in the holy month. Oh Allah, tell me what's holiness?'
