The holy month of Ramadhan is always one of the most eagerly awaited times for Muslims around the world. At SDI Al-Azhar 46 GDC, the excitement is palpable among both students and teachers. As Ramadhan approaches, the atmosphere at school becomes more peaceful, joyful, and full of positive spirit.
A few days before Ramadhan begins, the school organizes special activities to welcome this blessed month. The students enthusiastically create colorful posters and heartfelt greeting cards with Ramadhan messages. These activities not only encourage creativity but also help students understand the true meaning of Ramadhan — sharing kindness, spreading peace, and strengthening faith.
To celebrate together, all students and teachers take part in a joyful march around the neighborhood near the school. They walk together, spreading Ramadhan greetings and positive vibes to local residents. It is always a heartwarming moment to see the community respond with smiles and warm greetings. We feel truly happy and grateful to share this special occasion, especially under a bright, sunny sky.
Before Ramadhan started, the students also enjoyed a one-week holiday for the Chinese New Year celebration, known as Imlek. Although they were happy to have a break, some still felt the holiday passed too quickly. However, they returned to school with renewed energy and excitement to welcome Ramadhan.
The first day of Ramadhan at SDI Al-Azhar 46 GDC is always filled with enthusiasm, togetherness, and gratitude. It is not only the beginning of fasting but also a beautiful reminder of unity, compassion, and spiritual growth.
