This year sacred Holy month of Ramadan is being celebrated under exceptional circumstances. This is a crucial time for every corner of the world to curb the deadliest Coronavirus outbreak. As we observe fasting (one of five pillars of Islam) from dawn to dusk means abstaining from food and drinks may have to refrain from moving out and mixing among people at Iftar. But if we practice slightly different than we can still be blessed with all aspects of this holy month. Spending quality times with loved ones and keeping up with the spirit of the Holy month of Ramadan is our next goal.
This year Ramadan is expected to begin from April 23rd. Families and friends will gather after a long day of refraining from eating and drinking to share a meal, and restaurants are no longer bustling with people nor gathering at mosques due to government rule of social distancing. The spirit of Ramadan will remain the same, but practice will be different this year. The safety and security of our loved ones and our beloved country comes first. The faithful must pray at home. Ample free time to recite holy book and decorating house exceptionally, which is available in lockdown. Creating an online group of families and friends will not miss communal gatherings too much.
While we are facing stay home, stay safe condition, you can still maintain social distancing and uniquely offer your prayers. May you wish to perfect your prayers at home. Dress up every time you pray and give yourself enough time to read a couple of pages of the Quran every day. Trade your innovative recipes with someone else for their recipes and churn out delicious ending up learning fun skills. Last and not the least, a charity in the holy month is the key to celebrations, so donate time wisely and try to raise as many funds to help needy, that will satisfy our gift ideas. You can prepare mini care kits and food packages for the neediest. It is advisable to read out to your kids in the daytime and also give them activities to pass time creatively. Food lovers can also have hands-on practice of cooking new recipes and inventing new ones as well.
So while we prepare up differently for Holy month, it is true that, no matter what, the essence of the festival remains intact and it will be a Ramadan to remember for continued faith, holy prayers and self-motivated charities.
Ontime family wishing you all Ramadan Kareem!
