Whether it is Diwali, Chinese New Year or Hari Raya, the one main duty most households share is decluttering their homes. With Ramadan approaching 22 March 2023, it is advisable to give ourselves time to clean, as it will save you from struggling with cleaning and fasting at the same time.

What is Ramadan

Ramadan is a holy month of fasting and prayers for Muslims, who are followers of Islam religion.

One of the fundamental practices of Ramadan is fasting, which Muslims fast during the day – they do not drink or consume anything from dawn to sunset. During this time, they will also avoid bad or impure thoughts and shifty behaviours.

After the evening prayer and sunset, Muslims will break their fast with friends and family members, a period called Iftar. Some may even consume three dates to signify the way Prophet Muhammad broke his fast.

Ramadan is typically celebrated across various countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Abu Dhabi, and more, but every region has different customs and traditional dishes.

At the end of the fasting month, Muslims will then celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, or the festival of Eid al Fitr.

Spring-cleaning before celebrations

To begin this spring cleaning task, make a checklist of the big items you will need to take on: washing curtains, bedsheets, cushion covers, tablecloths and carpets you intend to use on Hari Raya.

Air out pillows, carpets and small furniture - items that will be hard to move around once the fasting period starts.

When the fasting period starts, Muslim friends have shared with me their struggles of waking up at pre-dawn for an entire month to perform prayers and read the Quran. Here's a tip: we think a plug-in night lamp can actually create soft light for your reading and it doesn't cost much.

Preparing your household in advance will automatically create a homey and comfortable environment as you welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, and it shouldn't bust your budget with planning.
