The holy month of Ramadan is best spent at home, among family and
friends. It is the perfect time for Muslims to reflect on their actions
and gain understanding on the experiences of those who are less
privileged than them. It is also a time when Muslims attempt to
reconnect with their spiritual self and grow closer to God.
Fasting is one of the five tenets of
Islam, although not unique to the religion, it is one of the most
prominent practices in the Islamic calendar. While it is mandatory for
all physically healthy and mentally- sound persons upon reaching
puberty, there are allowed exclusions based on circumstances and
conditions. One of it being a person who is travelling. Hence, we would
like to share some exclusive travel tips with our Muslim readers to make
your journey during Ramadan an easy and fulfilling one.
1. Plan Your Travel Schedule Wisely
There are several factors to bear in mind for Muslims travelling during Ramadhan, the crucial ones being the time for Iftar (breaking of the fast at sunset) and Sahoor
(the pre-dawn meal that forms the basis of sustenance for one’s fast
during daylight hours. While we are at liberty to pick an airline that
operates a schedule that best fits our plans, it is prudent to consider
some variables that may affect these two daily markers of fasting. For
example, carry along a small packet of dates (to break the fast) in the
event a delay in arrival occurs! Trust us, you’ll thank us later.
