Ramadan
The most difficult moment for Muslims has come: we are in Ramadan, it began a few days ago. The month of Ramadan is the holy month for us, Muslims. We can not eat, nor drink water from sunrise until sunset, one can not have sex during the month of Ramadan either.
I hope that all Muslims are always reading the Quran and wish a good Ramadan for all Muslims. http://www.islamismo.org/ramadan_jejum.htm

Dear Cissé,
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings on Ramadan, the fasting month for all Muslims like you. Thank you, too, for sharing wonderful family photos. What about the 4th picture? Where was it taken? Is it yours? If it isn't, you should add credits, ok?
And by the way... have you noticed that you are now writing longer sentences and texts? :) Keep going, Cissé, you're on the right track!
Be brave, Cissé. Ramadan will soon be over and your whole life will come to normal.
thank you teacher, without his help I could not write in English, thank you
DeleteHi all of you.
DeleteAlex had asked me to contribute to this page about Ramadan.For me it's a spiritual month.To all muslims it's a month of repentance &also forgiveness.&piety although throughout the rest of the 11 months some of us are pious while others are not.Ramadan is a month of fasting in which we are not allowed to eat,drink,have sex,gossip/backbite etc.The purpose of fasting is to show is how the poor feel(hungry),&to control your own urges.The last 10 days of Ramadan are so important bcoz we expect something called Leila tul Qadr(night of power)whereby whatever you wish will be granted.On the eve of Eid we are supposed to give charity to either poor relatives or neighbours or any poor person.
For those who are not familiar with Eid.There are two types of Eid.1.Eid al Fitr(marked at the end of Ramadan)&Eid al Adha(marked to show how Prophet Ibrahim(Abraham to Jews&Christians)when he had a dream that God had told him to sacrifice his son&when he was going to slaughter his son,the angel Jibreel(Gabriel) appeared with a sheep to be slaughtered instead.it's also the Eid whereby those muslims who can afford to go for pilgrimage(Hajj)go to Makkah(mecca).Thanks for your interest in our religion.
DeleteDear Karima,
DeleteIndeed! For the first time in my professional life, I'm teaching a Muslim student who has been brave enough to step out - and I mean brave, because we live in a Catholic country and his family (as far as I know) are the only ones to observe Ramadan here in Soure. I'm learning too and believe this observance had to be used educationally, to teach / learn about other Religions, Cultures - about diversity, tolerance... Your input, as well as other Muslims' contribution, has been valuable. Thank you wholeheartedly :)
How is it possible to be so much time without eating and drinking water?
ReplyDeleteIn the 4th picture is Mecca?
Good Ramadan!!!
joão. are the rules we have to comply with them, the first day is the hardest, but then will ease a bit
Deleteya, the 4th picture is Mecca, when I grow up I will go there
@Dear João,
DeleteRamadan is "new" to all and it's great to have Cissé to share this with us first hand. I'm also collecting some resources for curious and questioning minds like yours :) which I intend to publish soon.
@Cissé, I would love to visit Mecca, too.
the teacher will love, the mecca is very beautiful
DeleteI wish you a good Ramadan!
ReplyDeletethank you diogo
DeleteDear all, i am ra'ed from luxor Egypt where we most of us are Muslims and we find it very challenging to fast in this very hot weather over 40 but Ramadan is very special for us. Almost in all of the Islamic countries the first thing we eat is dates, how about yours? Happy Ramadan :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on our blog, Ramadan good for you too. I'm in PORTUGAL and here also this very hot, sometimes I'll throw the ball in the field, because my friends force me they always want to play with me.
DeleteThank you, and good Ramadan for all Muslims
@Dear (teacher) Ra'ed,
DeleteThank you so much for commenting on the class blog and on this issue. I also believe Ramadan must be a very challenging time of the year for all Muslims, but knowing Cissé, he - just like all Muslims - will stay strong till the very end.
I think Cissé didn't understand "dates", tâmaras, in Portuguese, but I asked him and he told me he loved them and that when he was in Africa, he used to eat them but he can't eat many now because they are very expensive...
Oh, btw, Cissé sent me a sweet email to let me know that Ramadan is over :)
Gretings from Portugal

Teachers Ra’ed and Karima,
ReplyDeleteDo you, in your countries, have a party to celebrate the end of Ramadan? Ramadan ends on Sunday and the party is on Monday.
Dear Abdourahamane,
ReplyDeleteHappy Eid. On Monday, we had a family gathering celebrating the end of Ramadan. In the morning, we visit relatives and call friends while some children prefer to go out to the parks. In the evenings, most families go out to restaurants, malls or cinemas. So you can say we celebrate it indoors and outdoors.
Have fun :)
Thank you and Happy Eid to you too.
DeleteWe also had to do party here in Portugal in Coimbra was fun and I enjoyed myself very amused
thank you
