ESSAY ABOUT RAMADHAN BY: IMAN AZLEE

It was Thursday, 18 June 2015 all of Muslims in entire world will start to remaining hungry and thirsty for the sake of Allah. This is the holy month of Ramadhan, where they will start  to fast for a month. Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is one of the five pillars of Islam. That is why Muslims have to perform one of this pillar since it is compulsory and Allah has promised great reward for those who fast. Fasting starts before sunrise and end at sunset. Which means, Muslims will have their suhoor before the time of Fajr prayer and ends at Salat al-Maghrib.

It was the first Ramadhan for me as a student. I only ate bread, biscuit and plain water for my suhoor meal. It make thinking of my home where my mum will serve us with more delicious food for suhoor. But I’m still thankful for the bless that Allah have gave to me. At least I have some food to eat rather than not having any food to eat for suhoor. Muslims have to suhoor to keep them energize for hours of fasting.

Fasting didn’t stop me from performed my daily routine as a student. I’m still managed to go to classes even though I have to take bus and ride a motorcycle on a sunny day. It is quite challenging as I can feel dehydrated with the surrounding temperature, but I can’t drink since it is wrong to do before the iftar time. So, I have to remaining my fast until the time to break is coming. Some of my non-muslim friends eat in front of me, which is rude for them to do that. But I managed to control my patience to continue my fast.

After class, I will go to Ramadhan bazaar at Ipoh Stadium. There are a lot of people at this bazaar. They are many type of foods and drink sold here that attract people to come here. I usually bought chicken rice and watermelon juice for my iftar meal. Many of foods at the bazaar make me eager to wait for the break fast time. Finally,  it’s 7:32 p.m, where it is the time for my place to break the fast. My housemate and I will share the food that we bought at Ramadhan bazaar among us. I can feel the spirit of friendship between us during iftar. After Isya’ prayer, I will go to mosque with my housemate to perform tarawikh prayer. After finished the prayer, we will gather and start to complete our assignment.

In a student life, I have experience the challenging time during Ramadhan. Unlike the previous years before, I was being disguise as a student, my Ramadhan was fully assemble at home. It is where everything was on my mother’s responsibilities. She was the one who prepared the foods for suhoor and iftar. This year Ramadhan have taught me to be more discipline,  more patience and independent. That is why I can feel the blessing of Ramadhan as a student.

Every evening, muslims and other religion will go "Bazaar Ramadan" to find some foods that only found at "Bazaar Ramadan" in the month of ramadan.
