Time for a month of fasting and blessings,

insha Allah

4

What’s 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 I’m a little older this year,

I’m going to help make suhoor.

8

Some days we eat egg

sandwiches…..

9

Some days it’s a nice hot bowl of

oatmeal….

10

and on the days we wake up a little

late ….

11

It might be leftovers….

12

Suhoor’s 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

That’s the adhan for Salatul Fajr

Now we must stop all eating and drinking until

Maghrib….

17

What’s 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 can’t believe it is almost time to break my

fast…

I’m 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 that’s how a day of fasting usually goes for

my family….

How about yours?
