What Ramadan Means to Me


Happy Ramadan!

In Azilal and all over the Muslim world people are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan. It is one of the 5 pillars of Islam. The month is observed by fasting from food and water throughout from sunrise to sunset and then celebrating with family and friends in the nighttime. 

The teachers fast even while giving lessons, and the students fast too!

We talked with the students about the challenges Muslim Americans face while fasting in the USA. Can you imagine not eating or drinking when most of your friends and coworkers are snacking away? 



Ramadan, though, is more than just fasting. The Azilal students each got a chance to share what Ramadan means to them.



These are some of the things that they said:

Ramadan is about connecting with the poor, and feeling their hunger and thirst. 

It is also about tolerance for others, praying and reading the Koran. 

Ramadan is about cooperation and generosity, and sharing what you have with people who need it.

Ramadan is abot charity to others and helping your community. It is a time to do good deeds. 

Ramadan is about patience and love.
