The beauty of togetherness at dinner with the extended family

moments with my extended family

Breaking the fast with my extended family is always a time that I look forward to every year. This afternoon we all gathered at a fairly well-known restaurant in our city. This restaurant was full of visitors who also wanted to enjoy togetherness at the time of breaking the fast. The atmosphere was lively, full of laughter and the aroma of food that was appetizing.

We arrived earlier so we could get a comfortable place for our extended family. A long table had been prepared complete with various dishes ready to be eaten when the Maghrib call to prayer sounded. I saw faces full of happiness among my siblings, from uncles, aunts, cousins to little nephews who looked excited waiting for the time to break the fast to arrive.

The atmosphere is full of excitement in the restaurant

While waiting, we chatted casually, discussing many things from childhood memories to future plans. There was laughter that made the atmosphere even warmer. I enjoyed every moment of this, because in the midst of each person's busyness, moments like this rarely happen again.

When the call to prayer sounded, the atmosphere became more solemn. We all immediately took mineral water and dates to break our fast, in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet. After that, we enjoyed the dishes that had been ordered earlier. Various typical Ramadan menus were served on the table, from warm sul, grilled chicken to various fried foods that were tempting to the taste buds.

I saw my nephew sitting sweetly on his mother's lap, trying to taste the food that had been prepared with great love. Every now and then he smiled while enjoying the next bite. My nephew also seemed to enjoy their food, occasionally planning with each other.

In the midst of the bustling atmosphere in the restaurant, there is a warmth that cannot be replaced by anything. My extended family is the most important part of my life, and breaking the fast with them is one of the priceless joys. I am grateful to be able to enjoy this moment, see the happy faces around me, and feel the togetherness that strengthens family relationships.

After eating, we enjoyed warm tea while continuing light conversation. Some of us planned to perform the Maghrib prayer in congregation at the nearest mosque before going home. The afternoon full of warmth turned into a night filled with gratitude.

Enjoy breaking the fast

The moment of breaking the fast with the extended family is not just about enjoying food, but also about togetherness, affection and gratitude for the blessings that have been given. This is a beautiful memory that I will always keep in my heart.
