Ramadan 2024: One of the most auspicious months of the year is about to begin and we already can’t wait. Ramadan, or Ramzan, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, celebrated by the Muslim community around the world. The beginning and end of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia. This also determines whether Ramadan will be observed for twenty-nine or thirty days. This year, Ramzan is expected to start on March 11 and end by April 9. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. The pre-dawn meal is known as suhur, and the fast is broken with dates and water – known as iftar. During this time delicious dishes are also prepared and enjoyed with friends and family.
Ramadan is a month of peace, service, community and contemplation. It is a time to bring your loved ones closer and celebrate life.
cooking together: During this time, Iftar-special dishes are prepared and enjoyed with friends and family. Cooking those dishes together and helping family members in the kitchen can create new memories. Experimenting with recipes, cooking up a storm and introducing new dishes to the iftar thali can bring smiles.
making an album: Every year Ramadan is full of memories. From praying together to observing fasts to enjoying Iftar dishes together. Why not create a Ramzan-special photo album to refresh your memories, which you can look at again and again and relive those moments?
DIY Decoration: Decorate your home with DIY interior decorative items during Ramadan. We can explore DIY ideas with the children of the family and work on making new decoration items to decorate the house during the auspicious month. Cleaning the house and making room for new decor items is a great way to bond with family.
