This month,
Ramadhan is happening, but because of Coronavirus, everybody must do Taraweeh and Iftaar
at home. There are no prayers in the mosque, no Itekaaf during the final ten days and then no Eid in the mosques either.
So, what is the
hardest part for Muslims in lockdown, during this holy month of Ramadhan?
My uncle, Mr. Abdullah, stated
the lack of connection with the mosque and not being able to pray behind Huzoor
was very troublesome.
For my Aunt, Mrs
Hussein, it is also not being able
to see her loved ones; “I can’t see my children; my children can’t see me. On
both sides, it’s devastating.”
Eid includes family, and Muslims usually spend
quality time with their loved ones. Without doubt, these unexpected changes in
Ramadhan and Eid celebration will bring sadness to many people.
