Brilio.net - An Indonesian man named Aziz is currently migrating to China. He was a student there and studied at Huaqiao University, China. Even though he is in a foreign country, Aziz admits that he continues to fast as usual. However, at this moment he had an unpleasant moment. He shared his story via a TikTok video posted by the account @azizchenn
When the month of Ramadan arrives, sahur becomes an important part of fasting. Sahur is the time when Muslims consume food and drink before dawn, in preparation to endure hunger and thirst during fasting throughout the day. So that's why Aziz also decided to have sahur.
Of course, to be able to have sahur there is food prepared. Aziz chose to prepare it himself by cooking. However, while cooking, a neighbor came because he felt uncomfortable with Aziz's activities. He was also reprimanded by the neighbor.

The neighbor immediately scolded Aziz. In fact, there was a physical touch where Aziz's chin was grabbed by his neighbor. According to the information in the video, the neighbor is a person from Laos.
"It's 4 o'clock, people are sleeping," said the neighbor.
Aziz tried to explain that he did this because of the teachings of the Islamic religion. He said, Islam has a provision during fasting that you cannot eat from dawn to sunset. Therefore, Aziz explained that he wanted to eat before dawn.
The neighbor remained firm in his statement that Aziz was a nuisance. He asked if there were any foods that were prohibited? If there isn't any then eat anything. Aziz was asked to just brew instant noodles because there was no need to cook and only needed hot water.

"Only he lacks tolerance, he even said that while you're in China you don't have to fast. And he also wondered why we don't eat. What are the benefits? I answered that this has become our tradition," wrote Aziz in the caption.
This Laotian also asked that this was the last warning he would give. He didn't want Aziz and his friends to cook again at 4 in the morning. Even if you still want to cook, do it in another room far from it. Because of that warning, the next sahur he came to his friend's room to cook.
"We don't have breakfast in my room anymore. And we also don't cook for fear of disturbing us," he wrote in the caption of another video.

This video also went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Many say that Aziz should be good at placing himself. Moreover, his position at that time was in overseas land. Netizens also suggested that Aziz cook at night before going to bed so that it doesn't disturb him.
"Just cook at night, bro. Then at dawn, just eat in your room," said the account @lovelly
"In Islam there is no obligation to cook at dawn, right, so you can actually prepare it at night," wrote the account @chocorange
"The beaches put themselves in other people's places, we have to adapt, not us forcing them to understand us," said the account @usernakal
"I'm just staying at the boarding house now to buy sahur food when it opens so I don't disturb the other boarding house kids by opening their pagers," commented the account @introvertperson.
