Today I managed to take a shot of the Ramadan Moon. On the left is the image of the moon on the 5th day of .Ramadan taken at 6.30 pm from my home in Ampang Jaya on the outskirt of Kuala Lumpur.
Ramadan begin on May 5, 2019 this year and Muslim all over the world start fasting during the day. It now past 5.35pm on the first day of this year Ramadan. The rains arrived early in the morning thus add to the freshness to the greens around the house. I have always love the rain and felt real good. In our culture the rain is a sign of Rahmat. Alhamdulillah. Nenek was busy all morning getting the Juadah done for today's Iftar or Buka Puasa. Hopefully all in the family who are in the country would be in our home this evening to Buka Puasa together.
Alhamdulillah it almost at the end of the second day of fasting and Iftar is in 15 minutes time. Ha the beauty of Ramadan. The spiritual journey when billions of Muslim goes through every year come Ramadan the holy month of the Islamic calendar, when the Koran was first revealed to Prophet Mohammad PBUH.
Yesterday May 9, 2019 the Buka Puasa at Moyang's place is almost full house, includes the Cicit. What a wonderful feeling to have almost all the four generations at Iftar. BTW one grandson is in Seattle and one granndson in law in Penang. Alhamdulillah
In Malaysia every Masjid and Surau provides foods and drinks at iftar for whoever goes to perform their Magrib prayer there. As soon as the Azan is heard folks would immediately break their fast together with drink and dates. Then they wound perform the Magrib prayer. Once the prayer is done they would continue to enjoy the foods that are laid at the eating place. Follows with the Isyak prayer and Tarawih. In some places light refreshments are provides too after prayer. All expenses for the Iftar are sponsored by the ummah. At one time we would go everyday to the Darul Ehsan mosque nearby to break our fast.
Have a nice day.
