WATS up guys, How were your Raya holidays? Hope it’s all good. Wishing all my Muslims friends a ‘Very Happy Raya ‘ hope you guys had all the fun .. Will start off by talking about how important is Ramadan to the Muslims culture. Ramadan it’s actually a religious month where the Muslims fast for a month . There are various pronunciation and spelling for these words .. There are Ramazan , Ramadaan and Ramadhan . In this one month Muslims are not allowed from having any meal and neither have any water. On this month Muslims are taught to be patient. Spiritual, and also includes humility. It’s a time where Muslims fast for the sake of their almighty and moreover to offer additional prayers than usual. During Ramadan Muslims ask forgiveness to past their sins, pray for guidance and help from refraining from everyday evils and to purify themselves through self-restrain and good deeds. Muslims should start fasting from the age they reach puberty. For those who are mentally ill, chronically ill and also the elderly people are exempt from fasting. Pregnant women are also excused from fasting but in a condition they will have to make up for the fast or feed the poor people .
Hari Raya is usually celebrated towards in the end of the year . We are given a few days off that’s the most interesting part that we non – Muslims get a few days off so that we can visit our Muslims friends house to participate in the raya festival . During the raya days the Muslims are suppose to wear their traditional clothing’s for the ladies they are accustomed to wear a baju kurung Or baju kebaya . And for the men they are suppose to wear a baju melayu with a samping on their waist. On this days the children of the house will ask forgivness from the elderly person n they get their duit raya . that’s the nice part of celebrating raya or infact any festivals atleast there is family unity .

The most thing I enjoy during raya celebrations is the FOOD. Because I am a foodie. I love food even though I’m a vegetarian. That doesn’t stop me from eating my favorite raya delicacies . I like the lemang and the kuih –muih that is served during raya . And the rendang (there is vegetarian rendang if you guys are thinking how can I eat non –vege when I just I’m a vege ) especially it taste good with the ketupat or lemang. On the raya day firecrackers is regularly a need especially for the kids .Even though its band they make firecrackers out of bamboo . Firecracker frequently lights up the environment. With the sounds and all it actually completes the celebration I know to many humans out there it maybe air pollution and many people may not agree with me but hey this is a free country we are allowed to give our opinion . Okayzz people tats all I have to share with you guys wish I could share more but I’m running out of information . Hope to post something more interesting soon yeah. Take care people. Have fun .
