Mariam’s First Ramadan By: Dhikshitha
My name is Mariam Al Thani and I am a 10 year old girl in Qatar.
Summer had just began and I am having a lot of fun with my friend and cousins.
A few weeks later someone spotted the helal and the month of Ramadan started.
This was my very first time fasting so I was really excited.
My very first day fasting began, my mother woke me up before dawn to eat.
It was funny how I couldn’t get food out of my mind, even though I was not hungry.
After our swam finished we all sat together as a family and had Tamir and Laban followed by many other dishes.
The next morning after the Maghreb prayer we all sat down to eat iftar, when I saw a worker with a blue uniform pass by my house.
That’s when I thought about all the less fortunate, hardworking people who could not afford such good food I was having during Ramadan. I wanted to do something…
Then I got an idea so after suhoor I went to talk to my dad about my thoughts. At first he looked puzzled but I could tell by his looks that he was proud of me. So he put up iftar tents outside a few big mosques so all the less fortunate could eat.
I visited the tents weekly to see that everyone left with a smile on their face.
