1. One hour before Fajr: Eat Suhoor and spend at least 10 minutes making Dua, offering extra prayers, and/or Sujood (prostrations). 

2. Pray Fajr

Note: Parents, as much as possible, should enlist children in the work of running the household smoothly during Ramadan in quarantine. If there are two parents in the house, each must ensure one parent is not burdened with dealing with all of the children’s needs.

Hearts are heavy this Ramadan. Eyes are overflowing with tears. Minds are still in a state of denial.

For some, there are too many emotions to make sense of this unprecedented Ramadan. Rejection. Deprivation. Anger. Anxiety. Humility. Introspection.

Begining of Ramadan will very likely begin with the continuing pandemic, and the resulting physical isolation. That means we need to make arrangements now to figure out how we will get the best out of this blessed month in this unique circumstance, especially with our Masjids closed.

Spring break is looking grim in terms of travel this year, with panic over Coronavirus hitting international and domestic travel badly.
