Ramadan Kareem

Sunday, March 10, 2024

During Ramadan, Muslims around the world fast from dawn until sunset, which means no food or drink during the daylight hours. The fast is broken each evening with a meal called Iftar, which starts with dates and water or milk, followed by a full dinner. Before dawn, there's a pre-fast meal to get ready for the day ahead. The end of Ramadan is marked by a big celebration called Eid al-Fitr, with lots of food, gifts, and community prayers. It's a beautiful tradition that brings people together.

Now let me tell you my experiences during the holy month of Ramadan. During this month, I have noticed that some of my Muslim friends are fasting. I am kind enough to not eat or drink in front of them during school or personal hours. It’s a way my parents taught me to show respect for their faith and religion.
The most important part is that my parents will come home early during Ramadan and I can enjoy and spend more time with them. I will play with my Pappa and Mumma and my little cousin sister who stays with us.

I love the experiences, traditions, and fun the holy month of Ramadan brings forward in my life.
