Its my 4th Ramadan in Dubai ,i really miss those Ramadan days in back home pakistan .what a wonderful days those were.I don't say Ramadan in dubai is boring but i dont feel any difference its feel like just any other day .Back home wheneve it announce that Tomorrow is ramadan it seems like everything has changed .My mother start perparing for tomorrow sehri .Me,my father and brother start perparing for taraweeh.TV programs switch to religious program.go early to bed ,in short so many activities.
A fellow of mine share his story of Ramadan in Pakistan ,it more or less same Ramadan routine for every Pakistani who grows up in era of 90's
here is the link Ramadan in Pakistan
finally i give tribute to my mother ,how much she take care for all our 5 sibling in Ramadan ,she wake 2 hour before sehri perpare food for us.we siblings used to get up 20 min before sehri :).after sehri and nimaz we sleep again then after an hour she wake us gain for school .then perpare for iftari . now i relaize how much she worked hard.still when i talked to her in phone she worried about how can My sehri and iftar.the reality is most of Fast in dubai is without sehri :)
Thanks Ammi (mother) for your hard work .

ReplyDeleteRamzaan Mubarak dear...
ReplyDeletewell... am not abroad.. but wel.. am not at home either..am in a different state in my country and very well understand how dificult it can get to find proper food for sehri and iftar....
newaz...
those things apart... Ramzaan is Blessed...hai na?
keep smiling
Allah haifz...
Yep ramazan in Dubai is lonely. It seems the non-Muslims have more fun because of the iftaar buffets. My ramazans in the USA were much better because of the social aspect...the mosques in my communities had communal iftars, we would take turn on invites for iftars for friends, etc. Even after 6 years in Dubai I still don't have a real circle of friends...Dubai is just like that. But it makes one focus more on the spiritual acts of Ramazan more than the social-eating aspects.
ReplyDeleteRamazan mubarak to you.
ramadan mubarak from the usa!! i thought it was a beautiful tribute to your mother. understanding how she took care of you and still worries about you..you will always be her child!!
ReplyDeletebelieve me, its the same in the states. there are alot of muslims here but no country wide preparation for ramadan. most people around me dont even realize that it is ramadan or that im fasting. it gets lonely.
cheer up, your family loves you, Allah is with you and inshallah youll have your own wife and family one day to create better ramadan and eids!!
jana
