What life is like during Ramadan

Ramadan is an Islamic month where we fast from sunrise to sunset. It is a month of sacrifice, tranquillity, and happiness.
 
My Daily Routine in Ramadan (a report by Umar H, Year 11)
 
I wake up about an hour before the fast begins, depending on the timetable we get from the mosque. I eat something filling to keep me going throughout the day like a bit of a watermelon for me as it's my favourite and a bit of leftovers from the evening. Once the fasting time starts, we go to the mosque for our morning prayer, called Fajr. After praying, I come back home and sleep for a bit before school.
 
During the day, we don’t eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. It can be tiring, especially during PE or when it’s hot outside. After school, I go home and make up any prayers I missed. Then I rest for a little while before heading to the mosque to recite the Qur’an and pray in congregation.
 
We break our fast at the mosque when the call to prayer is given. Our parents usually start preparing food a couple of hours before Iftaar. After breaking my fast at the mosque, I go home to eat with my family. My favourite foods during Ramadan are samosas, kebabs, and many other delicious dishes.

After eating, we relax for a bit before going back to the mosque for the last prayer of the day. In Ramadan, we also pray Taraweeh, which lasts about an hour. After that, I go home and sleep, then repeat the same routine the next day.
 
Throughout Ramadan, we try to read as much Qur’an as possible. Many people aim to complete the entire Qur’an during the month.
