Ramadan is my favorite time of the year. Joy starts when we
see the crescent moon which means the fasting is starting.
In Ramadan you cannot eat or drink until sunset, or the time
of the sunset, or Maghreb, prayer. Before the dawn prayer, or Fajr, next day,
you can eat and drink. When you hear the Fajr azan, your fasting has started.
Fasting is very important to all Muslims as it brings us closer to Allah and to
each other and fellow humans.

Ramadan is my favorite time of the year because I get to
spend time with my family at the iftar meal and in the evenings. You get to
design your home. You can make all types of themes! You can decorate your house
from inside and outside! You can decorate with moons, stars, Ramadan flyers,
and lots more. Decorations for Ramadan can be magical!
We learn by fasting in Ramadan how other people feel, the
people who are in need; the people who can’t afford food or clean water. That’s
the purpose of Ramadan.
In the days before
COVID-19, in Ramadan people used to give
away food for charity. And they would give it to the needy. People help those
in need the most in
Ramadan. But now the coronavirus is here, and we got banned
from doing most of the things we usually did before. Like, the taraweeh
prayers. We now have to pray the taraweeh prayer at home, to prevent the virus
from spreading. And along with that, we can’t visit now. But after the virus is
gone, Ramadan will be back to normal again.
The taraweeh prayer gives us so much peace. People don’t
usually meet. And praying makes our perspective stronger and builds peace in
our community. After the holy month of Ramadan ends, Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated.
In Eid Al-Fitr it’s the perfect time to spend time with family. Everyone
dressed and all the children are happy to be celebrating Eid. On Eid, visits
are everywhere. You visit your relatives and friends. You celebrate the end of
fasting.
Ramadan teaches us to practice self-discipline, self-control,
and sacrifice. That is the best lesson we learn in the fasting school.
All I wish now is that that next year’s Ramadan will be more
cheerful and free of the pandemic.
