The difficulties Muslims encounter in upholding their religious obligations in the face of a culture that, according to the woman, discourages prayer and fasting have been brought to light by her experiences observing Ramadan in a neighbourhood that is predominately Christian.

Speaking about her experience, read what she said below:

“Only living in a Christian dominated country during Ramadan is very difficult. Imagine being the only person in an entire community fasting. Lots of music, the clubs, the alcohol, the nakedness, the eating and drinking everywhere.”

She went on to say that cultural pressures are making it difficult for even Muslims in her community to follow the holy month.

“Most people I know here that are Muslims aren’t even fasting or praying because they have been interjected into a lifestyle which makes it hard to perform their religion duties. May Allah make it easier on all the Muslims trying to hold on to their deen for the sake of ALLAH,” she added.

Given that societal norms and activities may clash with religious observances in a majority culture, her remarks highlight the challenges experienced by religious minorities in upholding traditional customs.

Muslims who live outside of nations with a majority of Muslims frequently encounter similar difficulties, such as restricted access to halal food and places for prayer, as well as social influences that make fasting more difficult.
