Ramadan Mubarak! During this Holy Month of Ramadan, I am one with you, our Muslim siblings, as you offer profound prayers, carry out fasting and charitable works, reflect on the Holy Quran, enjoy the gift of your religious community, and solidarity of your partners in the interfaith movement.
As a practitioner of interreligious dialogue and a facilitator of multicultural education, I requested four Muslim counterparts to share their reflections on the Season of Ramadan and how this lingering pandemic is affecting religious celebrations in the Muslim community. They come from Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines and from different professions: a calligrapher, an educational leader, an arbitrator-engineer, and a certified trainer for nonviolent communication.

There is not even an iota of doubt that the current health crisis due to the spread of the Coronavirus is the worst crisis in the 21st Century, in fact the worst calamity that has hit humanity since the World War II.
The COVID-19 crisis not only brought the economic activity of the world to a standstill through the multifarious lockdown measures imposed irrespective of any region on the globe, it also bought unimaginable sufferings through the unfortunate deaths, be it in the developed world or the developing world. This crisis has shown that despite all our claims of technological advancements, a small virus can still wreak havoc upon us. There is much to be learnt, much more to be achieved and most importantly, much more to be changed regarding human behaviour, attitudes and priorities.
