Hi,
I am going to tell you the traditions of Ramadan in Morocco. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. This is also the holiest month of the year. This is the anniversary of the revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad in the Sheila cave. This is a celebration holiday, but there are other deeper spiritual meanings. Ramadan is not only related to diet, but also when Muslims reflect on the actions of the past year, seek forgiveness, transgression, purify the soul, refocus on spiritual cultivation and help the poor and the poor. Here are some of the traditions that Moroccans and other Arabs have in Ramadan. "Zowaka": This is a traditional practice identifying the time of Ftoor in Morocco. An Air Raid Siren (Zowaka {Z O W A K A}) is heard, announcing the end of day’s fasting. This startling, loud sound is followed immediately by the ritual "Adan or Athan," or "the call to prayer." This tradition has been replaced by a recorded sound, aired on national TV or Radio.
Lilt Sab3a W3achrin: The first verses of the Quran were revealed to the prophet Mohammed on this very night, so it is quite special. On this night, it is also important to perform Tarawih, which are prayers that come after the Isha prayer, performed in pairs. Women usually prefer to pray their Tarawih at home, whereas the men choose the Mosque, taking brief breaks between Tarawih by coming back home for a cup of Moroccan mint tea and spoonfuls of Sellou or Tquawt. Some say that L’Bkhour coming from Saudi Arabia is the best and the most expensive.
Stars of Lilt Saba w3achrine: To celebrate, parents hold a traditional family ceremony after Ftoor meal. With the help of Negafa , the girls wear beautiful make-up, formal Moroccan traditional clothes and gold. Boys wear traditional Jelaba, Fassi hat , and Balgha.
Nafar, a volunteer who is a kind of town "Crier": This is another special, old tradition of Ramadan in Morocco. A Nafar is a kind of town "Crier," whose task is to walk down the streets playing a special instrument, like a trumpet, or calling people by their family names, to wake them up for the Shoor meal, the last meal before sunrise. A Nafar is usually chosen from the local community and he knows everyone in the neighborhood.
Charities: During the entire month of Ramadan in Morocco, there are many charities, volunteers and mosques throughout the kingdom, who hand out free Ftoor meals to the poor and the needy. In Addition, every muslim, male or female, old or young, is obliged to pay Zakat al Fitr to the poor at the end of Ramadan.
Night Promenade: After the Ftoor meal, most families, including children go out to have fresh air, forget about food and enjoy the rest of the evening. Needless to say, working and school hours are greatly reduced to suit Ramadan schedules.
A long time ago, greetings were conveyed by family visits one or two days before the starting of Ramadan, talking about Ramadan preparations and enjoying a fresh mint tea with Dwaz-Atay.
Here are almost all the traditions in Morocco. Hope you find this interesting.
