The Lightness of Ramadan on YouTube

Posted on February 24, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Ramadan Mubarak! A Blessed Ramadan! Ramadan Kareem! A Generous Ramadan.
In this video I offer my impressions of one aspect of Ramadan… Fasting.. I wrote this poem a few years ago and it was published on Spillwords… this year I made the video. I love Ramadan:) I dedicate this video to all muslims, all over the world, especially to my family in Karak Jordan and my family in the USA. Please watch in 4K
A special thanks to James Ottobre.. for his prayer-spot, Mum., grown in his garden.🙏

    Ramadan Mubarak! What a lovely and grounded expression of the view from inside a spiritual practice. Thanks so much for sharing. Those expressive system-avatar faces! 🙂 The colors you chose (and the words, the music, your voice…) are perfect.

      Thank you Dale…such a beautiful comment..it fills me with joy..to know you really felt my description…and Yes!! System avatars look at you and what’s behind the eyes comes out…in an ironic way, they act more real:):) Maybe it’s an acquired taste::) (like over 18 years lol)

    This is so spiritually elevating Karima. Loved the recitation of Ar-Rehman at the end.

      Ramadan Kareem Cindy!! Loved your wonderful comment and so happy you enjoyed how I tried to make visual this Ramadan poem of 5 years back. I thought at first, I couldn’t, but Muse said “You Can” so I made the attempt and honestly as i am fasting, and a “spiritual airhead” when I saw it come together…I cried:) It’s hard to capture the “uncapturable”…and this month of fasting, prayer, and generosity feels so other worldly every year from my “normal world” Thank you so much for watching and for being such a special person in my WordPress life.. here it is:) https://youtu.be/Kf2IereyjcI?si=c8WPt3FBsUhMGOyr
