Muslims grapple with Ramadan rituals in coronavirus era
Muslims will be grappling during the upcoming Islamic holy month of Ramadan with how to observe familiar rituals in a time of unfamiliarity after the coronavirus has disrupted Islamic worship. I take it as a wake-up (call).โRamadan, which starts later this month, unites Muslims the world over in fasting and worship. She always looks forward to the special Ramadan prayers, known as โtaraweeh,โ at the mosque. Many Muslims have been praying for the coronavirus cloud, which has already disrupted Islamic worship the world over, to lift before Ramadan. โThere will be no social gatherings, no Ramadan aroma in the markets, no collective prayers โฆ in mosques,โ he lamented.
