Ramadan; The Month We Love Without Our Beloved

Ramadan the month dear to us has come at the time Syrians suffering from longing and grieve and that is why it has become sad for losing many of beloved relatives. For the fifth year and with regime escalating bombardment ,the suffering of the Syrian people increased reaching an extent at which they are no longer able to practice their religious ceremonies and special social traditions related to their religion like in the old days where territories out of regime held are continuously targeted the thing heightens pain.
Om-Khaled from liberated Idlib city said: ” I did not have a lot of money ; only some to buy some food for Sohoor (a meal before fasting) for my kids preparing for the first day of Ramadan. While I was walking in the market, I heard a sound of a large explosion due to a Russian military fighter targeted the gathering of civilians in the market where the missiles caused fire in the shops and injured armed less people there … what a disaster .. what a humanitarian blight against innocents. It did not stop here, but it launched raids in another places in Idlib city so that ten raids were carried out in the city; as the Russian warplanes is telling people that these were the new ceremonies of your Ramadan in case you could make it living it fully “.
Her accompanied neighbor revealed : ” I hold Om-Khaled shaking hands and walked home quickly to check on our kids for hearing the sounds of the raids would terrified their small hearts ; who once went through the pain .. remains afraid for ever”.
” We sat to the table having Sohoor without appetite cause regime presents for us on Ramadan of scenes of death and destruction made us lost it; however, my missed husband and my martyred son’s memories were accumulated in our minds tightening our patience on unbearable oppression” ,Om-Khaled proceeded.
Abo- Marwan , a survival of that brutal bombardment , repeats loudly : ” we will do (Taraweh) evening pray in mosques where I will do it everyday in the mosque exercising Ramadan ceremonies challenging coward and unable warplanes that target civilians in our worship places just to deny us from praying for Allah in Ramadan”.
