Today, Friday, Muslims around the world began fasting on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, at the height of the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, which deprives many believers of traditional family meetings and prayers in mosques, although a number of religious officials and believers in some countries reject isolation measures. According to expectations, this month will be unusually gloomy, and not the atmosphere Muslims are accustomed to in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The restrictions taken by most countries to curb the spread of the deadly epidemic require mosques to keep their doors closed, while iftar, which usually takes place in a family and sometimes festive atmosphere, cannot be shared with the extended family or neighbors, due to the ban on gatherings. Ramadan this year is very different Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, will not witness the enthusiastic atmosphere that usually prevails during Ramadan. Religious authorities have called on Muslims to remain in their homes. Indonesian family matriarch Fitriya Famila said, "Ramadan this year is very different. There is no festive atmosphere." She added, "I am disappointed because I will not be able to go to the mosque, but what can we do? The world has become different." In Asia, which is home to more than a billion Muslims, many religious officials have refused to abide by the restrictions associated with the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic. The largest Muslim organization in the Indonesian province of Aceh, which is a conservative region, publicly opposed the national measures requiring residents to remain in their homes. Thousands of Muslims attended Tarawih prayers on Thursday evening at the largest mosque in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, although the crowd was smaller than usual. Kot Fitriya Reskia, who participated in the prayer, confirmed, “I am not worried because I wear a protective mask and keep my distance” from others. Hotspots of infection in recent weeks among large Muslim groups in Malaysia, Pakistan and India have revealed the danger posed by holding large religious gatherings in Asia. The World Health Organization called for stopping some customs associated with Ramadan to reduce the risk of the spread of the new Corona virus. Also in Bangladesh, clerics rejected the authorities’ recommendations calling for limiting attendance at mosques. In Pakistan, mosques were crowded with worshipers as the month of Ramadan approached, and they sat close to each other without paying attention to the rules of social distancing. Mohamed Shukri Mohamed, the highest cleric in the conservative state of Kelantan, Malaysia, decided to abandon group prayers and family meetings, even though for him this meant being deprived of seeing his six children and 18 grandchildren. "It is the first time in my life that I have not been able to go to the mosque," he told AFP. He added, "We accept this and adhere to the rules of social distancing to protect our lives." In Malaysia, where the majority of the population is Muslim, isolation measures have been extended until mid-May. Mosques and schools were closed and police surveillance patrols were deployed. Not even the Ramadan markets, where Muslims flock to buy post-breakfast sweets, were opened after a decision to ban them. But in return, residents can place orders on the “E-Bazaar” website and receive their purchases at their homes. In neighboring Indonesia, where millions of people head to their cities and villages at the end of Ramadan, the government has banned these movements.
