Ramdhan

 Ramadhan or fasting means withhold food and drink from down until sunset. Ramadhan occurs once a year. In of the Ramadhan, all the Muslims will fasting. Before  we fasting, we are required to 'sahur'.


     Sahur means refer to the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before fasting. We should eat even less. We are encouraged to eat protein foods like bread,fish and more. On the first day of fasting was rather tiring seen we have to hold ourself from food and drink all day long until sunset or adzan reveberate. At that time we call Iftar.


     Iftar means the evening meal when Muslims end their daily Ramadhan fast at sunset. Iftar is one of the religious obervances of Ramadhan and often done as a community, roith people gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is taken right after Maghrib time, which is around suset. After Iftar and Maghrib prayer, there will be Isya prayer followed by Tarawih prayer. And after that, most Malaysian Muslims usually will have a special supper called moreh with local traditional snacks and hot tea.


     Hence, Ramadhan is also the time of the year when you can find the best Malay food at the Bazaar Ramadhan. The Ramadhan food markets, that pop up everywhere in the country. These markets can be visited by anyone, not only Muslims. So all Non-Muslims travelles should experience a Bazaar Ramadhan if they happen to be in Malaysia during the fasting month.


     Ramadhan is similiar to other holiday in that family and friends get together and break fast together. It increases the bond between family and overall is a fun.
