RAMADAN is the Highlite of the whole year.
Why?
Your Whole Family is Involved
After Maghrib, in Ramadan -
Your house becames a home and feels very different.
The call to prayer has just ended.
Silence for a moment, then smiles appear.
A Bismillah, out loud is thanking Allah.
Fasting ends for the day.
The family gathers around the table. The children sit a little taller, proud from helping.
One carried plates.
One filled cups with water and juice.
One could not stop laughing ~ while setting spoons in all the wrong places.
Mother brings the food from the kitchen, still warm. Father offers a short duʿa, thanking Allah for food, for health, for being together. Everyone says Ameen.
First sip of water feels like mercy.
Dates taste sweeter than candy.
Hunger fades and joy grows ~ and so does the family . .
The children are talking all at once. Someone says a funny thing the baby did.
Laughter bouncies off walls already familiar with life, love and laughter.
Phones, computers, or TV don't matter now. This home becomes a small world of peace.
After eating, plates remain on the table a little longer.
No Rush!
Food was great, but togetherness is greater.
Table is Cleared By Everyone!
Small hands help again, happy to belong. Later, the men and some of the older boys prepare for Isha and Tarawih.
In homes like this, across cities and villages, rich and poor, Iftar brings hearts close.
Food feeds the body,
Gratitude to Allah,
Will Feed the Soul,
Family makes all the blessings
COMPLETE!
