Why was the month of Ramadan in the 60s different?

Why was the month of Ramadan in the 60s different?

We in the sixties have a common memory of Ramadan. Dawn awakenings. We had not reached the age of duty, but we insisted on waking up at dawn. Either way, we want to fast.
Waking up had its own story. We used to wake up ten minutes before the call to prayer. We would bring it to the table by ourselves, we would return to bed without eating a few spoonfuls. Now why were we doing this? Because we can’t sleep.
We wanted both sleep and dawn.
When we went to school, our heads were high because we were fasting. When the teacher asks when is fasting? We used to stretch our hands so much that we could hold a classroom lamp in our hands.
We used to come home from school and with mother’s insistence that we also accept the fasting of the sparrow’s head, we would eat lunch and wait until breaking the fast.
Time passed and many of us, who used to fast with enthusiasm in those days, did not wake up at dawn anymore. We did not fast anymore. Didn’t we tell our parents to wake us up at dawn? why
Should the rulers answer this question? What harm have they brought to the generation that used to enjoy fasting? Why has it reached a point where some of those who have heard religious talk in elementary school, middle school, high school, and university, straighten their necks and say stop this ridiculous game.
They must have only heard religious words and not seen religious behavior.
We should really ask ourselves, why should we warn Muslims so much about fasting before the beginning of Ramadan? Those who have experienced the month of Ramadan in Muslim countries, feel the difference between those countries and Iran. People fast without any encouragement or punishment and observe the fasts.
Maybe it’s time to compare our behavior in the field of religion with other Muslim countries.
It is enough to compare the Qur’an meetings of a country like Egypt with Iran. In this African country, there are different classes with different appearances, but in the country, almost everyone looks the same!
Why is having a beard and wearing a rosary a sign of religion?
A religious person is one who does not backbite, does not tell lies. A religious person who does not respect people’s rights. A pious person is one who respects the condition of his neighbor.
Having a beard and holding a rosary in your hand, but when you go to work, you show an entry card and without registering your departure, you get to personal work and then take the salary you didn’t work, is not compatible with your religion.
I wish we could go in the direction of not judging people based on their faces. Let’s get used to not judging at all, but try to make our perception of people because of their behavior, now they want to dress however they like.
Before Corona, courts focused on financial corruption were being held. Some of the defendants of this court had rosaries in their hands and beards on their faces and seals on their foreheads. These courts are a good document that our behavior towards people is not based on appearance.
And what was true about what Molavi said in the story of Moses and Shaban that “we should look inside and look at the present, who should we look at the outside and the past?”
