My childhood memories of Ramadhan.

In the golden age of Islam, fasting is one of the obligations that all the Muslims should to obey. This is because fasting is including in the principle of Islam. When we talked about fasting, I believed that all Muslims had their own childhood memories of Ramadhan. I also immediately remembered about my own childhood memories of Ramadhan.

I had started for fasting since I’m in standard one. My parents taught me to fasting for the whole day. They promise me to give me rm1 for one day fasting. I am very excited when I heard the statement. I had resolute myself to fasting for the month of Ramadhan. At least I can get rm30 as the ‘duit raya’.

My determination was succeeding until the middle month of Ramadhan. I still remembered when the 17th day of Ramadhan, I had started to fasting for the half day only. This is because I can’t stand anymore for the whole day without drinking and eating. Furthermore I felt very tired after came back from school.

Sometimes, unfortunately I am not fasting for the whole day because something that can influence me. It is happened when one day, I came back from school. On that time I am lonely at home. Suddenly, my friend came to my house. She bought me an ice-cream. So I told her that I’m fasting for that day. She told she will knit if I not took the ice-cream. As a little girl, I was very happy when I got an ice-cream from my close friend. We eat the ice-cream together but suddenly my brother came back from school and at night, he told to my parents that I’m not fasting for that day. I felt so sad because my dad will deduct the amount of money if I had skipped from fasting.

When ‘hari raya’ came, I still got rm30 as the ‘duit raya’ but my dad said to don’t skip the fasting anymore. At least he can accept if I’m fasting for the half day. Okay, that’s the entire story that I want to share for my readers about my childhood memories of Ramadhan. Thank you.
