Look through the Muslim to know part 

of Chinese culture.

                By Xi Li (Alison)

Hi This is Alison, I am a Chinese ethnic 

minorities. I think the reason why we are write 

this book is “everybody Roza Heyitingizga 

Mubarak Bolsun!” Do you know what I was 

saying? Probably not, because I was not 

speaking English. I was speaking my mother 

longue which means that “happy Fast Breaking 

Festival” everybody!”

This is one of these tree major festivals for the 

muslims all around the world. It is celebrated 

by millions, billions of people including those 

here in China all those nations. 

For example, 

Hui, Uygur, Kazak, Uzbek, Tajik, Tatar, Kirgiz, 

Salar, Dongxiang, Baoan even.

Really cool! I really like this name, awesome! 

Well, How much do you know about this 

festival? 

 You have to know how to do this holiday? So 

today, ah, let me introduce you to this very 

important festival so that we can grow the 

growth of knowledge about the common sense 

of it.

Let’s take a look!

Of course, first you have a problem, since it is 

Eid, then it is surely first fasting right? Yes, 

this process it is called Ramadan,let’s take a 

look. It is the ninth month of the Islamic 

calendar. It is considered to be one of the 

most sacred months of the year. But the dates 

can vary. Sometimes it is 29th, other times it 

is 3oth days. It depends on the positions of the 

crescent moon. Well, it is said that Islamic 

classic Quran was revealed to Prophet 

Muhammad this month. 

And observing Ramadan is considered to be 

one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Very very 

important and quite challenging. Let me show 

you. For all the muslims during this month will 

require to from dawn until sunset refrained 

from consuming food, drinking liquid, smoking 

and cursing. At the same time, we have to 

practice abstinence during the day time. But 

we need to eat of course, we are not 

supermen. We will eat before the dawn and 

after the sunset. 

Ok, at the same time during the Ramadan, the 

muslims are encouraged to pray and do a lot 

of charity. I think this is really a good thing to 

contribute to the society. And during all those 

processes, there will be all those good things 

for the muslims too.Well, we will try to have 

more self-discipline and cleanse the soul. Also 

at the same time by having this sense of thirst 

and hunger, we will feel more empathy for 

those who are less fortunate. And we will 

appreciate and will be thankful to our great 

life. And I think that’s a good good practice. 

Of course, after all those hardship, we will 

finally the festival itself, the Fast Breaking 

Festival. And during that day which is today, 

we have to bath and be in our festival best 

which is really cool. I didn’t change, you see 

just to busy to buy a new suit. Maybe I should 

buy one. After that we will go to the Mosque 

for prayer and then it will be the routines for 

the festival. For example, visit relatives for 

these extended family greetings.
