Khaled Zikry, a 25-year-old Egyptian living in Los Angeles, has a message for all the Muslims who are spending the holy month of Ramadan with their family.
"Today at your Iftar table, look at your left and right, and count your blessings. The alternative is very bitter."Khaled who was based in Dubai for four years was offered a stint in Los Angeles, and he says the disconcerting feeling of being alone during Ramadan for the first time is making him want to move back to the Middle East.
"Kneel and kiss your mother's hand. Kiss your father's forehead. Call that aunt whom you have been waiting to speak with for ages to make sure she's okay. Eat the sweets and desserts that your grandmother prepared. Take that money from your grandfather, don't feel shy. Go out with your cousins, play football with your neighbours. Talk. Laugh. Or just sit with your siblings. Because they are your real people."The post went viral on social media as thousands of single Muslim expats across the world resonated the feelings. He even received several invites from Muslims based in the US to join them for Iftar.
