Ramadan, time for reunion, prayer and reflection

RAMADAN, Islam’s holiest month, is not just about fasting and food. It is also a time for reunion, prayer and reflection.
For a whole month, mosques and surau in Malaysia come alive with special buka puasa sessions and communal prayers called tarawih for the community.
This year, the first weekend during Ramadan was special as Malaysians took advantage of the school break to reunite with families in states, such as Kelantan and Terengganu, to break fast and pray together.
Not forgetting that Malaysia is a gastronomical paradise, Ramadan is also the time when stalls and restaurants enjoy thriving business. – May 30, 2017.
