“O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was for those before you so perhaps you will become mindful of Allah.”

Al-Baqarah, 2:183

Crystal Mosque, Terengganu Ubudiah Mosque, Perak RAMADAN REFLECTIONS

Dear brothers and sisters,

On behalf of Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC), assalamualaikum, peace be upon you! I extend to you our warmest greetings and good wishes at this important time.

As Muslims all over the world welcome the blessings of Ramadan, let us take this opportunity to reflect upon the meaning of Ramadan this year. The new norms like the movement control orders, working from home, wearing masks, and physical distancing, with intention to protect our health and safety, have relatively challenged the way we lived, worked, and practised our faith.

As challenging as this may seem, our faith has actually prepared us for this through the practise of being in moderation and restraint. More so during this Ramadan -- our daily fasting, focus on extra prayers, charity, and taubah, shall give us the strength to continue to do more with less.

Indeed, the month of Ramadan which falls again during such isolating times, shall be welcomed in the spirit of gratefulness as we embrace this time and space for further reflection and nurturing of the wellbeing of our physical, spiritual, and mental selves.

Islamic Tourism Centre is pleased to share with you the suggested ways in which we can manifest a more productive and fulfilling Ramadan through the simple practices shared in this booklet.

Take heart that while we may miss the freedom to gather and travel physically, the breadth and depth that our mind journeys to within ourselves this Ramadan through conscious reflections may be even more enlightening.

Insha Allah, these difficult times shall pass, and in the meantime, we must remain grateful and persistent to endure.

We wish you and your loved ones and ourselves a rewarding and successful Ramadan. We pray that Allah (SWT) grants us health and imaan to seek His reward through good deeds. Aamiin.

Dato’ Dr. Mohmed Razip Hasan Director General Islamic Tourism Centre Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia 4 Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, is here again, albeit in a slightly different form due to the new norms adopted to ward off the spread of Covid-19. The special aspects of Ramadan in Malaysia -- the congregational night prayers, the Ramadan bazaars, and mass iftars at hotels -- have been reduced and conducted in moderation for safety and hygiene reasons. Still, there is no reason for these to refrain us from receiving the best Ramadan blessings for ourselves. Instead, it may be a blessing in disguise for us to be better versions of ourselves. Make this the best time for our prayers for protection against Covid-19 to be answered. Make this the best time to correct our ways and be more generous. Make this the best time to improve our worship and devotion. Make this the best time to embrace the teachings of Ramadan for self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, and empathy.
