STUDENT’S CORNER

MAHE RAMADHAN AWAY FROM HOME

Moving away from home to an unfamiliar country to study is hard enough! Add doing the holy month of Ramadhan away from home and it can actually feel quite depressing. For me, it is definitely the month I look forward to. Lazy stay-at-home days filled with Quran recitation, Mummy-made iftaars, rushing off to Quran Khani and being surrounded by a comforting blanket of Quran and Dua recitation-all familiar aspects of doing Ramadhan at home.

I realised that instead of feeling sorry for myself, I needed to get up and actually do something to make myself feel better.

That stands for Tradition, Involvement and the People.
