"But now, I can only stay at home and can't gather with friends, can't meet many people, it's sad. Because this holy month of Ramadan is the month I always look forward to every year. Because it's a time to gather with others and everything", she added.

Although this year's fasting month is different, Aaliyah has been able to carry it out smoothly. "So far, my fasting has been going well, thank God. But it feels very different compared to last year's fasting month, but thank God, my fasting has been going smoothly so far," said Aaliyah.

Behind that, Aaliyah is also grateful that many people provide food for breaking the fast and also for sahur, like her friends who cook for her.

"Usually, I have a maid who cooks at home, but sometimes I order food. But thank God, many people have sent me food during this corona pandemic," said Aaliyah.

"It's like every day there is food being sent to me and many friends cook and send it to me. But during this fasting month, I only cook once, not yet. I only cooked rawon once for learning," she added.

2. Simple Iftar

In addition, Aaliyah also mentioned that she eats and drinks simple and ordinary things when breaking her fast.

"Just plain water. The important thing for me is to have cold water when breaking the fast, it has to be really cold, and dates. They say that eating dates is a tradition of the Prophet. So when I break my fast, I usually drink water and eat dates," she said.
