"Oh my God, all the shops are closed."
"I was hungry and all the resturents are closed."
"I can't drink when I am out or I will go to jail if the police catches me."
The above qoutes are from the domestic workers, who they experiance their first Ramadhan in Oman, they insisted to go out on Friday, on their off day, despite been worned that all the shops will be closed because of the holy month.
They thuoght everyone was just joking, No eating nor drinking was not easy for them, specially having hot weather.
Now, they counting the days for Ramadhan to end, to get back their freedom of drinking and eating their home food in day time with their fellow friends.

"Allah, I am fasting"
Woke up this morning kind of good mood, despite lack of sleep because my daily plan and feeling feverish since 2nd day of Ramadhan.
I picked her up as I have been doing since last week, she greets us with "Hi" and we respond with "Wa Alaikum As'alaam," its been ever she doesn't want to get it or chose to ignore us for not saying "Assalamu Alaikum," the proper Islamic greeting, we feel she doesn't have any sign of been a Muslim, just wearing the Abaya and Sheylah (black head gear or a scurf) means she comply with it as a Muslim.
My daily plan is two hours nap before Magreb prayer i.e. Before breaking the fast plus sleeping late after midnight as performing some prayers then getting up to have Suhoor, my last meal before fasting then praying Fajr the first prayer of the day, and sleep for two hours, before going to work.

Ramadhan Active blogs
Don’t miss 'RamadhanTV' journal about the latest Arabic TV series which will be running in the Arabic TV stations and preview as well as review of each episodes. I have previously written a short review about journal.
I wish 'Ramadhan Reading' journal to be active as it was back to three years ago, it will encourage Muslims arround the world to read the Quraan, the holy book of Muslims. Someone should contact the Contributors of Ramadhan Reading to start posting.
