Ramadan in Romania: "building bridges"
Romania's Muslims are taking a central role during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, offering iftar meals and building bridges with fellow Muslims, Islam Online (IOL) reports.
"This is the first time in Romania when reverts are directly in charge with activities for Ramadan," Robert Hoisan, the Bucharest representative of the Muslim Association of Romania, told IslamOnline.net.
"For example, in this Ramadan, we are organizing evening meals for breaking the daily fast in different places inside the country." Hoisan and his colleague Dan Michi want to offer as many iftars as possible.
"Wherever there is a group of 3 to 4 Muslims, inshallah, we want to be there, together with our brothers and sisters," he said.
"Some of us are already helping in sharing iftars within the big cities where thousands of Muslims are living, cities like Constanta for example.
"But our own strategy as young Romanian Muslims is to share iftars in some of the small cities as well."
In Ramadan, adult Muslims, save the sick and those traveling, abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.
Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month to become closer to Allah through prayer and self-restraint. "Ramadan is a tremendous blessing for the one who fasts and also the best time to get to know each other and work in a loving environment for the sake of Allah," Hoisan said.
"In our hearts it’s indeed great joy and happiness because in the month of Ramadan we are making our connection with Allah even stronger."
There are some 70,000 Muslims in Romania. They make up two percent of the country’s 22 million population.
PEACE!

Why is Robert Hoisan saying it's the first time for reverts to directly be in charge with activities for Ramadan? What used to be the case, do you know?
