Jakarta, Indonesia, 5 April 2024 -- This month is the month of Ramadan for the Muslims. Observing Ramadan involves fasting from dawn until sunset and refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs. However, it is not merely abstaining from worldly pleasures; it is a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and heightened devotion. Muslims use this month to strengthen their relationship with Allah through increased prayers, recitation of the Quran, and acts of charity. During Ramadan, the breaking of the fast, known as iftar, holds special significance. Families and communities come together to share the evening meal after a day of fasting. Takjil, the small, sweet snacks traditionally consumed to break the fast, play a vital role in this communal experience. These snacks not only provide nourishment to the body after a day of fasting but also symbolize the joy and togetherness of Ramadan.

On 31 March, Easter Sunday, the Salesian post-novitiate community in Jakarta shared takjil with drivers and workers passing by for their iftar. The community wants to spread the joy of Easter with the people, and the sharing of Easter eggs is changed by sharing with Easter takjil. The community hopes to continue this act of charity with the neighbors who are Muslims and cultivate friendship. Such acts of kindness contribute to building a more cohesive and compassionate society where everyone feels valued and cared for.
