Express your joy in welcoming the month of Ramadan this year?

I look forward to this day every year. I always wish Almighty Allah to widen our hearts with the help of this Ramadan month. When I see the moon in this month of Ramadan I say 'Alhamdulillah'. I consider it auspicious to see the moon every year like this. And I pray to Allah to manifest this joy. May Allah grant us the blessings of fasting and praying five times in this month of Ramadan. This is how I express my joy by welcoming the month of Ramadan every year.

What are your preparations for welcoming the month of Ramadan this year?

I have made some important preparations to welcome the month of Ramadan this year. Actually I take this preparation every year. Taking advance preparation around the month of Ramadan makes it easier to perform the task. Because the month of Ramadan is a month that brings the news of mercy, forgiveness and liberation. Therefore, in this month, dignity and virtue can be obtained in an unlimited way. So here are some of my preparations to welcome this month of Ramadan :

• Mental Preparation : I have fully prepared my mind to achieve the highest reward in this holy month of Ramadan. I have discussed the importance of fasting and its merits with everyone in my family.

• Physical Preparation : Some physical preparation is also required for worship during the month of Ramadan. That is, fasting is an act of worship for which it is very important to be physically healthy. Because if we want to fast, we must take proper care of our health before Ramadan.

• Establishing a daily routine : Every moment of Ramadan is precious. And its times should be given proper dignity. So I have developed a routine of what to do during the month of Ramadan. The acts of worship are: regular prayers, reciting the Quran, doing zikr every time, eating sehri at the right time etc.

Are there any special traditions in your area or are they commonplace. Very interesting for us to hear?

As a Muslim country, Bangladesh has many events around the month of Ramadan. These can also be called a hundred years of tradition. I have presented below the interesting traditions of various aspects of Ramadan observance:

• Seheri : In Bangladesh during Seheri time, the local people of the area miking to wake up the fasting people in our area. It is also customary for the Hujurs from the mosque to wake up the local people to eat Seheri in the mike during the Seheri of the fasting people.

• Iftar : The most interesting tradition in my area is the Iftar market of various kinds. However, on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, the state of the traditional Iftar of Old Dhaka is in the Chawkbazar area. The shopkeepers sit with all the iftar stalls in Bahari. It is a centuries old tradition to say.
