Ramadan 2020 looks like it will be in some kind of lockdown this year. To many Muslims, they cannot imagine the concept of not going to the mosque during Ramadan or having big family gatherings for iftar. This year it is something we are all going to have to embrace. 

In the beginning, the Companions didn’t have Ramadan like we are used too. There were no big gathering during iftar. They ate alone. So this year we will go back to how it used to be in the days of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). 

We are weak that we need the community to help us during Ramadan. We need to pray behind an imam, we need to go to the mosque to pray altogether in a community. The Companions never prayed Taraweeh in a group. They used to go home and pray alone. This is the year we will discover the original spirit of Ramadan!
