Eyes on Early Years 5 | Page 2

RAMADAN The holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims all over the world. As our Level 5 student Maha Salem reminds us: “It is the month of making ourselves better human beings, more loving, more caring, more giving. It is the month where we stop and think who are we and what is our pur- pose in life. It is the month where we connect with people and show compassion towards the poor and hungry. It is the month where we make our new years’ resolution to be better a better person in every aspect. It is the time where you resolve any disputes, hold no grudges and reconnect with people, families, friends and neighbours.” Saima Yasin, one of our Early Years Tutors, tells us: “The holy month of Ramadan is a time of reflection, making changes to oneself and helping those less fortunate. It is a time of happiness and celebration, opening and breaking of your fast is rejoiced with families and loved ones. For Muslims around the world, it is a very special time.” We wish everybody Ramadan Mubarak.
