Its Ramadhan!
3
Time for a month of fasting and blessings, insha
Allah
4
Whats it like to fast for Ramadhan?
5
Come with me and see!
6
Brnngggg! goes the alarm clock. Ummy sets it
extra early so that we can get up to eat suhoor
7
Since Im a little older this year, Im going to
help make suhoor.
8
Some days we eat egg sandwiches..
9
Some days its a nice hot bowl of oatmeal.
10
and on the days we wake up a little late .
11
It might be leftovers.
12
Suhoors cooking up, so I go and wake up the rest
of the fasters.
13
We serve and eat suhoor. Everyone eats and keeps
an eye on the clock.
14
Sometimes we have lots of time until the adhan.
15
And sometimes we finish just in the nick of time
16
Thats the adhan for Salatul Fajr
Now we must stop all eating and drinking until
Maghrib.
17
Whats next?
Well, it depends.
18
Sometimes we go back to sleep for a while.
19
Sometimes we stay up and read or recite Quraan..
20
A little later we may read a little bit about
Ramadhan or fasting and do some school work.
21
The afternoon rolls around. Sometimes I am
very hungry..
22
Some days, I cant believe it is almost time to
break my fast Im not hungry at all..
23
About half an hour before maghrib, everyone
rushes around cleaning up and deciding what we
will have to break our fast.
24
Then the time we have been waiting for is here.
25
The muadhdhin calls the adhan for Salatul
Maghrib..
26
Everybody takes a bite of food and a sip and says
the duaa for breaking the fast.
27
Those who are at the age of praying, pray
Salatul Maghrib
28
and then we sit down at the maidah to a yummy
dinner.
29
And thats how a day of fasting usually goes for
my family. How about yours?
