Changes In Ramadan

In this post I am going to write about how people change their life style in Ramadan, particularly in Saudi Arabia. If any one live their he/she will notes that changes and how people were before Ramadan, and how are they in Ramadan.

There are many things now become such customs or traditions for example:

- Shopping malls open at 5pm -2am and in the last 10 days of Ramadan until 4am!

- The malls and shops, start to change their decoration, red, white, and green and other traditional colours.

- People start working and students also go to schools quite late with shorter days, usually 10am to 3pm

- Restaurants close during the whole day and start working after al Asr prayer (late afternoon).

- Mosques, make a free Iftar meal every night for 30 days, sponsored by volunteers and home-made food and drinks. People usually bring lots of food at Magrib prayer to have their breakfast (first meal after fasting) together.

- Mosques do Taraweeh prayer after Isha (the usual evening prayer)at 9 pm -10:30pm. In the last 10 days, there will be another prayer which is Tahajud usually starts at 12:30am until 3am.

- People prepare special food and drinks only for Ramadan, including Sambosa, Dates and Dairy, Cereal soup, Foul, and lots of desserts like Toromba, basboosa and mehallabiyya and sobia .

Foul.....

Sobia >>> I miss u

Toromba (Bla7 alsham)

For people they think about diet or losing their wight, I don't think Ramadan will be a good month to do that .

Ramadan Kareem
