84 Mini-fasts at the weekend, Iftar dinners with local jamaat (Muslim community) members, and a big family Eid was howRamadan was usually spent. But this year is different with everyone being confined to their homes. We can still have communal Iftar (breaking the fast) sessions but they are held virtually, I can keepmini-fasts every day because I’mat home all week, and family Eidmay have to be over video call. In order to protect against COVID-19, we have all had to change our lifestyles, and so this Ramadan has been spent differently. Two weeks before lockdown, schools were closed and home learning was begun. Though it has become easier to know what to do, being in Year 10means that the “lessons” are difficult, and so it’s not easy – even now – to be systematic (much to the disapproval of the timetable onmy wall). I wonder if, one day, this will be studied as source material in a History class. Danila quillandinkandparchment.wordpress.com/2020/05/21/ ramadan-lockdown-and-a-confusing-time/
