Ramadhan Mubarak, everyone.
This Ramadhan is unlike any other. Because of the Movement Control Order (MCO), there are no Taraweeh prayers at the mosque/surau, no pasar Ramadhan and no iftar invitations. It's a hard lesson for us to not take simple things for granted.
But there's one thing I don't miss and that's the crazy traffic jams going to work and coming back home everyday!
There are good things that come with MCO, too. For me, I get the opportunity to lead the Taraweeh prayer at home for my family for the first time. I don't memorize the entire Juz Amma. So, here I am, reading the Quran every night during Taraweeh. Well, at least I won't be repeating the same surah every night.
Also, today marks the day Ayra fasted from dawn until dusk for the very first time. And she's not even 7 yet! However, during iftar, she complained of a tummy ache and suddenly threw up after taking a few sips of sirap and some rice. She then had some Oreo's and bread instead. Poor Ayra. But she's fine.
So, how was your first day of Ramadhan?
