The One Ramadan We'll Never Forget With ...

About this episode

We have waited all year for this month: Taraweeh prayers, azumas surrounded by loved ones and the chance to bond with family and friends!

But this year we’ll forgo the gatherings for our own safety and this Ramadan will definitely be one to remember. 

In Ep. 11 of Season 2, we sit down with Saja and Suha, the women behind Amasi Decor, to talk about celebrating the holy month while social distancing. 

Just because this Ramadan doesn’t look like any others that we’ve participated in, it doesn’t mean we still can’t bring the excitement into our homes. 

If anything, it means we really should be amping it up!

Saja and Suha explain how we can get both the younger generation and our elders to take part in Ramadan festivities. 

There are so many ways to bring that spiritual feeling back this year: decorating our homes, designating certain corners of our living spaces for prayer and Quran readings and creating new traditions to pass along to our little ones. 

Speaking of traditions, we each share our memories from our childhood and what we plan to incorporate into our daily Ramadan practices this year!

Being away from family and friends may be the toughest part, but Saja and Suha walk us through how we can still maintain those relationships while also practicing social distancing. Zoom iftar date, anyone?
