Your

Favorite

Aspect of

Ramadan?

The oneness, the heightened spiritual

awareness, praying, charity and coming

together for the same purpose;

HEALTH

asked a few residents what in particular

they love about Ramadan. Here’s what

they said….

Sana

Qureshi,

Banker

“One of my favorite

months in UAE has

got to be Ramadan;

with the food,

lights, food fairs,

the excitement and

planning for the

prayers of Laylatul

Qadr as well as the

shorter working

hours and long

nights with friends

and family. Dubai

especially comes

alive after Maghreb

prayer. They have

the most beautiful

and lavish Ramadan tents put up for the whole month

in Dubai alongside the big charity tents put up in

Sharjah on almost every roundabout. For me Ramadan

can’t get any better than here in UAE.”

Dr. Hassan Galadari,

Dermatologist

“Forget New Year’s resolutions, Ramadan is

when you are able to look back at how your year

has been. The month is a time of giving, getting

together and making plans for the future. I, for

one, have always looked fondly to that month and

this year will be no different.”
