Fasting, Reaching Piety and Blessings

Even though the coronavirus epidemic is still rampant with various impacts in the form of the hardships and life restrictions, Ramadan is still Mubarak, a month full of blessings.

The fasting month of Ramadan 1442 Hijriah (Islam calendar) in 2021, which begins this week, is the second fasting month amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In Ramadan last year, starting at the end of April 2019, the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak was on the rise.

A year on, the pandemic has risen again in its third wave in many countries, with 135 million people infected and 3 million dead.
