GIVING AWAY DATES TO FRIENDS IN SCHOOL IN THE MONTH OF RAMADHAN

I went to SMK Dato' Jaafar this afternoon, just to give away dates to friends for this month of Ramadhan. I got to meet a few people at the office and asked for their help to pass the boxes to the others.

I got my Eid cookies early too from a friend.

It is customary for Muslims to break their fast with dates. And in Islam, feeding someone who is breaking their fast is considered a good deed that can bring many rewards, including forgiveness of sins and protection from hellfire.

“Whoever helps to break the fast of a fasting person (giving food), he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” (Tirmidhi)

WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADHAN

28th March 2022 ~ Ramadhan, the month the Muslims fast, is coming. I am trying to keep the tradition alive by sending dates to colleagues and ex-colleagues for them to break fast.

I managed to see a few ex-colleagues of SMK Taman Universiti when I went there to deliver the dates. So we had a mock session of handing over the gift of Ramadhan ceremony just for the fun of it. Everybody was sporting enough (or was forced) to take part in the photo shoot session which was definitely not meant to be a formal or serious event.

To those who did not make it into this blog post, guess you will have to wait for next year. 😀
