Principal's Pen
March 24, 2023
March 23rd 2023 marked the first day of Ramadan for Muslims around the world. The 9th month of the lunar calendar, Ramadan is not a holiday by Islamic standards; it is a holy month of worship. Families will be fasting from dawn to sunset (about 5:40 am-7:00pm depending on the region they reside in); they cannot consume anything (water, medicine, food, etc.). For Muslims, Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food and drink. It is a month that exemplifies the Islamic values of gratitude, strengthening bonds of kinship, spirituality, and maximizing acts of charity. They are encouraged to donate to those in need as an act of appreciation for the blessings they have; it is a month of generosity and giving.
You can exchange Ramadan greetings by saying “Ramadan Kareem,” which in Arabic translates into “Have a generous Ramadan,” or “Ramadan Mubarak,” which roughly translates into “Happy Ramadan.” On the last day of Ramadan, which is Eid-al-fitr, the greeting changes to “Eid Mubarak.”
