The Holy month of Ramadan is all set to commence next week. However, with the rise in the covid-19 cases, the celebrations will again be a tad bit different this year because of the pandemic. Iftar tents, social gatherings and other events stand cancelled this year. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Ramadan with your family. Here are five ways in which you can celebrate Ramadan safely with your family.
1. Order takeaway for Iftar meals/ cook at home
Many hotels and cafes have special buffet deals going for Ramadan, however, with the rising covid-19 cases, it’s best to avoid going to restaurants. Instead, you can order Iftar meals at home since many food joints now have offers on Takeaway too. So, you can call for a meal or cook something with your family and have a safe Iftari at home.
2. Celebrate virtually with friends and fam
Authorities have banned gatherings in a large group for Ramadan this year. Going to relative’s house and sharing meals with them is also prohibited this year. But you don’t need to be sad about it. You can host a virtual Iftar party with your relatives and friends and have fun while following all the rules. Right from playing games to breaking the fast together, a lot can be done virtually.
3. Download digital Quran for the mosque
While going to the mosques for prayers, make sure to carry a digital Quran on your phone. Authorities are also encouraging this since carrying a digital Quran will help you avoid a physical copy- that’ll be touched by many.
4. Avoid social gatherings
This Ramadan, your main aim should be safety. Safety of yourself and your loved ones. Make this Ramadan an intimate affair and celebrate it at home instead of going out with friends. Encourage others to do the same and don’t encourage big parties.
5. Follow all the safety norms laid by the authorities
Authorities have banned public gatherings, tents, social events, etc., for Ramadan. Kindly follow all the rules and stay safe at home. You can always celebrate Ramadan with pomp and glory in the future. But at present, safety first.
