Ramadhan

Today is a third day of Ramadhan. The weather has been nice, not too hot and not too cold either. I just looked into the prayers timetable and noticed that in the beginning of Ramadhan the Fajar prayer begins at 5.01am and Maghrib prayer begins at 7.36pm. At the end of Ramadhan the Fajar prayer will begins at 5.55am and Maghrib prayer will begins at 6.30pm. Since the Hijrah calendar is moving 10 days forward every year, fasting in the UK is becoming more like in Malaysia, in term of time for breaking your fast. I remember when I was here back in 1995 until 1997 where Fajar prayer starts around 7am and we break our fast around 4pm right in the middle of winter. You don't even feel the hunger, just the coldness. In few years time, the daytime during Ramadhan will be getting longer though. Maghrib during August will be around 8 to 9pm. Even worse, during the July it will only begins at 9.50pm. I guess it's about time the Malaysian or even Indonesian government started to advertise to the whole Muslim community in the UK to have their Ramadhan holiday in their countries during those years!
