Muslims around the world are trying to maintain the cherished rituals of Ramadan, Islam’s holiest month, without further spreading the coronavirus.
Black churches have long served as places of refuge in times of crisis. But with the coronavirus, pastors in South L.A. have had to help in different ways.“We hear on TV what the big imams say,” said Zaheer Abbas, an Islamabad resident who has been praying at home. “Praying is praying. God isn’t only in the mosque.”The loss of communal charity meals will particularly hurt as people lose jobs under coronavirus restrictions. Some are rushing to fill the void.
In Kashmir, the Muslim-majority territory contested by India and Pakistan, volunteers wearing masks and gloves drop off sacks of rice, flour, lentils and other staples for Ramadan at the doorsteps of those in need in the city of Srinagar.“We have to take care of these people’s self-respect,” said one volunteer, Sajjad Ahmed., the group Salam Charitable usually receives donations from Turkey, Malaysia, Jordan and elsewhere for its Ramadan relief projects.
Health authorities pleaded with Jassim al-Aswad, the longtime Mheibes champion and tournament organizer, to call it off for the sake of public safety — while praising his “preternatural abilities and unrivaled powers of discernment.”“I feel very sad,” he said. “Ramadan will be devoid of these popular rituals this year. ... May God wreak vengeance on corona, which deprived us of our most beautiful hobby.
