It was barely dawn. All you could hear in the distance were the calls for the “El Fejr” or dawn prayer from the minarets. A few worshippers were hurrying to the mosques for the first prayer of the day. El Fejr also marks the beginning of the fast. We are in a Moslem city during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Moslems fast from dawn to dusk for the whole lunar month. This year, Ramadan coincided with February.
The workday starts a little later than usual. It ends in mid-afternoon. Because of the shorter winter days, housewives get to the market early for the best pickings. Souks—or markets—are full of the best vegetables, fruits, fish, meats and other goods. Shoppers are rushing about to get every little need for the evening meal. It is a holiday atmosphere and everything is available. The cooking starts early and the delicacies prepared are plentiful.
As the day goes on, some people start showing signs of exhaustion. No food, drink, smoke (for the nicotine addicts) or any other “pleasures” are part of the fast. Only children, the elderly, the sick and pregnant women are not supposed to fast. Many people shorten the day by taking a siesta. The most energetic people toward the latter part of the fast are the cooks, usually housewives, as they rush about preparing five and six course meals. Every detail is prepared meticulously. Teenagers are encouraged to try their hand at cooking a dish for the first time. Special Ramadan dishes take a particular place on the dinner table; after-dinner treats are prepared early on so no house work takes place after dinner.
Whole families get together for the meal, as nobody is supposed to celebrate the breaking of the fast alone. Poor families are provided with meals by neighbors, charities and government agencies. The breaking of the fast is announced by a call for prayer in the cities and by a cannon shot in the rural areas. People share their views on how long or short the day felt for them as they pick at every dish and try every salad. The meal usually is not very long as it usually is hard to eat heartily after a full day of fasting.
After the meal, some people rest. Others go visiting family around the corner or around town. Many of the men go to cafés to meet friends and chat all evening. Back with the visiting families, sweet delicacies are served with coffee and tea and the evenings last past midnight. In many parts of town, fairs and festivals are organized.
Later in the month, the festivals become more crowded as families start preparing for the “Aid Al Fitr,” or holiday of feasting. This is the Moslem holiday most like Christmas, as kids get new clothes and toys. Families start shopping for the Aid after the Ramadan halfway point, and kids start telling everybody their wish list. Mothers also start preparing or shopping for special pastries such as Baklava and Kaak. The Ramadan evenings start to become more of a frantic shopping season as everybody wants to be ready for the big day.
