O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you,
that ye may (learn) self-restraint

Ramadan in Vietnam

We will post on this blog a list of article for each country where we know Muslims celebrate Ramadan. I am starting with Vietman. Are you surprised? Me too if you asked me less than 7 days ago.

After last Friday's Prayers, I talked to a person who looked asian. We exchanged hellos, and I asked him where he was from. He said he was from Vietnam. I asked if there were a muslim community in Vietnam. I was surprised to learn that there are around 7 million muslims in Vietnam. That is half the number of Jews in the entire world.

If I see him next time, I will ask him if he can share few words here on this blog. I also thought that there might be readers who know about Muslims and Islam in Vietnam could can share it here.

You can write comments before you leave this blog, and/or you can also email your input. The email address is in the right up corner of this page. Feel free to write.

Write on topics such as iftar in vietnam, mosques in vietnam, the situation of muslim communities in vietnam.

Special Ramadan Series

Dear Reader, Assalaamu’alaikum.

Ramadan Mubarak. We wish you a blessed and productive Ramadan! Make no mistake about it - keeping the fast and increasing our acts of worship during this blessed month is not an easy task. The physical demands of balancing work or school with fasting all day, feeling fatigued and less effective than you normally are, waking up for Suhoor, praying Teraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, dealing with sleep deficits.

But the last thing we would want is to let Ramadan pass us by without doing all that we aim and desire to. Do not allow yourself to feel guilty or regretful when Ramadan passes.

The Ramadan Series will send you emails with practical tips on how to gain and maintain the physical and spiritual energy necessary to embark on increased religious oligations so that you will reap the benefits from this blessed month. This includes special Ramadan duas to say during the month. Do sign-up today!
