When Ramadhan finds you at school

The sound of the bell at exactly 12: 30pm serves as a trigger for students to stream out of their classrooms all heading to the dining hall. The look on their faces shows the lack of patience as they queue to enter the hall armed with their plastic plates.  While all the pushing and shoving goes on at the refectory, some students seem unbothered. In fact, they are simply seated in class flipping through their books. Closer scrutiny reveals that they are all Muslim students. And it is the holy month of Ramadhan.  Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide observe this as a month of fasting. Being one of five pillars of Islam devout Muslims are expected to take it serious.
