Ramadan around the world

"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate"

A friend of mine shared this link with us on Facebook and I really love the pictures!

I hope the photographers doesn't mind that I put some of their photos up here. All courtesy to guardian.co.uk for compiling the photos:

Here's a picture of Friday prayers in Jakarta. Masyaallah...

They didn't have any pictures of Singapore though! So I'm going to put my own. =)





These are just some pictures I took from a relative were taken of the Geylang Bazaar during Ramadan. It's always almost the same every year... but the atmosphere is different. I hope someday, I would be able to experience Ramadan in other countries as well; do terawih in their mosques and eat the food the Muslims eat over there. Insyaallah, if God willing.
