Ramadan Response

Salam! My name is Zainab. I would like to tell you about my experience of fasting in Ramadan. I fast because fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. Fasting helps me to understand what poor people feel like when they have no food. It makes me feel sorry for them and I want to do something to help them. My favourite part of Ramadan is the delicious meals my mum makes for iftar and the hardest is waking up for Suhoor.

Salam! My name is Hasan. This is my third Ramadan that I have fasted all the days. My mum is super proud of me! I just hope that Allah and the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam are pleased with my fasting. I use the time that I would normally spend on eating a meal to read Qur’an and recite tasbih. My favourite part of Ramadan is listening to the recitation of Qur’an at tarawih prayer.
