Hey everyone!

Today I am excited to share what a typical day looks like for me during Ramadan. My name Hamza Yousafzai and I want to take you through my day.

2:00 AM: Early Morning Adventures for Suhoor:

Ramadan means early mornings for Suhoor the pre dawn meal before the fast begins. Around 2 AM despite the late hour I headed to a lively food street in Hayatabad Peshawar near my house. The streets were buzzing with activity people playing cricket and enjoying tasty food.

The cool breeze carried the aroma of grilled meats and fresh bread inviting us to indulge in the delights of the night. I invited my friend Qasim along and together we devoured some delicious Malai Boti with fresh nan. Even though I am trying to watch what I eat I couldn't resist the temptation it was too good!

5:00 AM: Prayers and Rest:

After Suhoor I went back home got ready and headed to the mosque for Fajr prayer. The predawn darkness enveloped the streets as I made my way to the mosque sense of tranquility settling over me. After prayer I caught up on some much needed rest embracing the quietude of the early morning hours.

1:30 PM: Afternoon Activities:

In the afternoon after Zuhar prayer I returned to the mosque to perform my daily prayer. The warm sun cast gentle shadow as I made my way through the bustling streets. Near the mosque children clustered around carts selling an array of fresh fruits their laughter echoing through the air.

I purchased some juicy fruits for Aftari envisioning the joy they would bring to the evening meal. Following prayer I dedicated my time to tutoring my students ensuring they were well prepared for their upcoming exam post Eid.

5:10 PM: Evening Encounters:

During Asar prayer I paused to observe the world around me. As the golden hour bathed the street in a soft glow I spotted a group of children delighting in Gol Gappa their laughter infectious. Captvated by their joy I captured the moment in a photograph reminder of the simple pleasures that enrich our lives.

With the call to prayer echong in the background I retreated to the tranquility of the mosque immersing myself in the sacred verses of the Quran.

6:30 PM: Breaking Fast and Community Time:

Aftari time arrived heralding the end of the day's fast. I gathered with family to break bread the aroma of freshly cooked samosas and pakoras filling the air. Each bite was a celebration of unity and gratitude a testament to the bonds that unite us. Energized by the meal I made my way to the mosque for Maghrib prayer the sky ablaze with hues of orange and pink.

En route I encountered a vendor selling Rababs their melodic strains adding to the evening ambiance. Intrigued I captured the moment in photographs cherishing the memories forged in the company of community.

8:00 PM: Evening Prayers and Reflection:

As Esha prayer beckoned I returned home to engage in prayer and reflection. With the day obligations fulfilled I embraced the serenity of the evening finding solace in the rhythm of prayer and the whispers of the heart.

So that a glimpse into my day during Ramadan. Its a time of spiritual renewal community bonds and profound gratitude. Thanks for joining me on this journey
