Thanks to “Mr. Homan Pegah Mehr” in charge of the Youth Committee of the Islamic Center of New York, what you are reading is a summary of how American Muslims live in the holy month of Ramadan.

 

Welcome

Ramadan in America has a different atmosphere. The Muslims of this country also celebrate this month and honor it .

 

Different horizons

In America, due to the wideness of the country and different horizons, recognizing the time of iftar and dawn is one of the important issues. This issue was one of the problems of the people before and even when a few years ago an Iranian cleric living in this country attracted many viewers by establishing a satellite network that only showed Sharia times for the people of different states. . But now with the existence of many websites as well as mosques and information centers in this field, this problem has been solved .

 

Nutrition

The biggest problem of religious Muslims in America is access to “halal meat and food”. Therefore, at the time of breaking the fast, they have to travel a long distance to reach their home or the nearest Islamic institution .

Although with the recognition of the large population of Muslims, the number of halal restaurants is also increasing, but it still cannot solve the problems of the people bound by Sharia restrictions .

 

Islamic Center of New York

This center is one of the Islamic institutions that provides iftar reception for Muslims living in New York. Now every night more than 2000 people come to this center for congregational prayers, iftar and religious ceremonies .

 

American life

While Muslims in other parts of the world live in harmony, they all break their fast together and work and business are regulated by fasting, American Muslims have to adapt to the American way of life and have a special plan .

 

Feeding in mosques

According to the above, feeding mosques is a great blessing for those who have to work at sunset. When they break their fast, they quickly go to a mosque near their workplace where they break the fast, and after breaking the fast, they quickly return to their workplace to eat it .

Impact on America; Respect for Muslims

The effects of this month are two-way; That is, despite the problems of American Muslims, many Americans get to know Muslims more and establish relationships through Ramadan .

Followers of different religions, observing the Muslims who fast for a whole month to fulfill the divine order, fight against the ego and self-improvement, value and respect the Muslims of America .

 

After September 11

After the pressures of September 11, the need for religious dialogue was felt more . Many American Muslims consider Ramadan as a chance to reach understanding. Some of them invite their non-Muslim neighbors to their homes to break the fast. People of different beliefs breaking their fast with each other has become a tradition since then. The “Council on American-Islamic Relations” also continued its annual initiative entitled “Sharing others in Ramadan” and asked mosques across the United States to participate in this program and share the non-Muslim community in their iftar feasts. The annual initiative of this council aims to communicate in order to promote the understanding of Islam and help the followers of different religions in America to meet their Muslim neighbors by participating in ceremonies and iftar feasts .

The Muslims of San Francisco have been organizing the Iftar ceremony in one of the city centers for six years, which has attracted about 100 volunteers from Muslims, Jews, Christians, right-wingers, etc.

American Muslim director Naeem Randhawa also made a documentary called “Ramadan in America” and succeeded in presenting a real picture of Islam and Muslim traditions .

 

Police actions

New York police officers also meet with religious leaders and members of the Muslim community on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan, according to the tradition every year, and discuss the steps that can ensure the safety of the atmosphere of the holy month of Ramadan and the holy days of this month for the Muslim community. put

Teaching Islam to Muslim officers is done by showing educational videos about mosques and attending Islamic gatherings .

 

Electronic tools

Muslims in the United States also use electronic devices for Ramadan . Websites and blogs are a good tool to reflect the concepts of Ramadan. These sites publish special prayers for the holy month and announce the exact time of iftar and dawn .

 

Ramadan, an opportunity to get rid of addiction

Prominent Islamic organizations in the United States have taken advantage of the holy month of Ramadan for self-discipline and have formed anti-tobacco headquarters in order to quit the habit of smoking. Officials of these organizations say: “Our goal is for addicts to quit this habit during the month of Ramadan due to fasting and determination. The month of Ramadan provides at least half of the way they have to go to quit smoking, and they have to go the other half with their determination. Religion works wonders in fighting bad habits like smoking .

They explain their goals by distributing posters and holding educational seminars .

 

Eid al-Fitr

This Eid is gradually becoming a part of American culture. For example, the “Eid Mubarak” stamp, which was released as the first Islamic stamp in America in 2007 to commemorate Eid al-Fitr, will be reprinted this summer (September 2009). Most of the parts of this stamp, which was printed on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr two years ago, were quickly bought by Muslims and collectors, and now this stamp has become rare .

The multinational company “Tyson Foods” – the world’s largest meat producer – which is based in the United States, also recognized Eid al-Fitr as an official holiday for its Muslim employees .

 

Indonesia

The Republic of Indonesia is a country composed of about 3000 small and large islands located in the Malaya archipelago between India, China and Australia. Its capital is “Jakarta”. The area of this country is 1919000 square kilometers and with more than 234 million people, it is the fourth most populous country in the world and the most populous Islamic country.

centers of corruption; People’s problem

Southeast Asian countries are one of the destinations of rich tourists who travel to these countries with specific goals other than tourism. This issue has become a problem for the religious people of these countries.

In response to this, the office of the Indonesian Ulama Council asked the organizations, responsible institutions and executive management of the islands of Batam, Tanjung, Karimun, Bintan, Linga, Natuna and Anambas to completely close these entertainment centers during the holy month of Ramadan. . However, only the “Batam” region has not agreed to the complete closure and will close these centers only for four days (the first day of the month, the day of the revelation of the Quran and two days on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr). This is due to the fear of reducing the income of tourism sector employees! The authorities of this region have argued that we should also consider the workers whose income depends on these centers!!

In the western part of the city of Jakarta, there are one thousand and one nightclubs, which remain closed until the time of breaking the fast in respect of the month of Ramadan. Restaurants also refuse to offer alcoholic beverages during the holy month of Ramadan.

 

Ghadr night

Indonesian Muslims spend the last 10 nights of the month in prayer and worship, and they believe that one of these nights is the Night of Power.

Before entering Russia, Islam had gone to the countries near Russia through conquests; Then it was the Muslims of these regions who spread the religion of Islam to Russia . 

What you are reading is a summary of the customs of the Muslim people of Russia during the holy month of Ramadan .

Welcome

Russian Muslims take full advantage of the blessed month of Ramadan to confirm their religious beliefs and consider it as a time to implement Islamic rituals in the hearts of Russian Muslims .

 

The arrival of Islam in Russia

Islam did not find its way to Russia through Islamic conquests; Rather, it expanded through the expansion of Muslim commercial transactions with the residents of those areas. Before entering Russia, Islam had gone to the countries near Russia through conquests; Then it was the Muslims of these regions who spread the religion of Islam to Russia .

 

An opportunity to strengthen beliefs

There are many ethnic groups in Russia who attribute themselves to Islam. Like the Chechens or the people living in Dagestan. Therefore, this blessed month is a great opportunity for those Muslims who only carry the name of Islam with them, strengthen their religious beliefs and rituals, and return to the correct Islamic way .

 

mosques

Russian Muslims in the region are very interested in holding congregational prayers in mosques. On the other hand, there are some main and comprehensive mosques in Russia that organize the recitation and conclusion of the Holy Quran in the month of Mubarak, which are very well received. In general, they honor the thirty days of Ramadan like Islamic holidays and celebrations .

 

breaking the fast

Breaking the fast is one of the most popular Islamic rites during Ramadan in Russia. It is interesting to know that the days of Ramadan are also interesting for Russian non-Muslims. They know the month of Ramadan from the mass Iftar ceremony of Muslims in Russian cities .

One of the beautiful cultures that exists during Ramadan in Russia is a short and useful speech by a cleric for the guests at the iftar table and during the meal, which is usually made of necessary and practical points for young people by referring to the verses of the Qur’an. This custom is similar to what is called “Mawaed al-Rahman” (Merciful Tables) in Egypt .

 

Influences of others

Since Russian Muslims live in non-Islamic societies, it is quite natural that some of their customs and traditions are taken and imitated from non-Muslims, especially Orthodox Christians. However, they are proud of being Muslims and do not hide it from anyone .

Also, during Ramadan in Russia, non-Muslims also respect the customs of Muslims; For example, in this month, many immoral TV programs are not aired for free; Or alcohol distribution centers do not have much activity during the day and open their shops at night .

 

South Africa

South Africa is a mixture of divine and non-divine (animistic) cultures and religions, and almost all the world’s known religions have followers in this country, and freedom of religion is guaranteed in the constitution of this country, but among all these cultures and Cultures, Muslims have a special social position.

 

South Africa, which is known as the rainbow of cultures, its Muslims are also of different colors and races, so that all Muslim colors, including the black of central Africa, the lighter black of North and South Africa, the colored skins of Indians, Pakistanis, and the yellow skins of Indonesia. And Malaysians and white Europeans, Arabs and Iranians can be seen among them.

 

Because South Africa has been an immigrant-friendly country since ancient times, and for this reason, all its Muslim immigrants celebrate their customs and especially the religious ceremonies of the holy month of Ramadan in their own style .

 

In any case, all of them are Muslims, and although they do not comprise more than two percent of the 46 million population of this country, in this holy month, in addition to performing religious rituals such as fasting, doing good deeds, and establishing human circles with the Qur’an, an important part of They allocate their daily food and strength to the poor non-Muslims of their country.

 

In this month, despite the fact that Muslims are fasting, all mosques in the country are active after the evening prayer to prepare all kinds of food to break the fast to the poor, including non-Muslims .

For example, the Al-Rahman Mosque in the almost Shiite area of Pretoria, the capital of this country, welcomes about 500 needy non-Muslims from three in the evening until after the evening .

 

In short, the blessings of the holy month of Ramadan in South Africa include both Muslims and non-Muslims in this country, and this is important along with the kindness of Muslims to others and giving importance to the spirit of brotherhood and their coexistence with other religions and ethnic groups, in a respectful way Muslims have had a great influence on them.

 

Especially during the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims have a special social prestige among their countrymen in the pluralistic society and culture of their country .

 

The positive interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims in this country has caused non-Muslims to have an almost complete understanding of Islamic culture and due to the relatively superior position of Muslims, they have special respect for them and may also follow some of their social behavior .

 

As mentioned, although there are not many Muslims in this country, you can easily find halal branded foods in many stores in this country .

 

In short, the customs and religious rituals of Ramadan in the rainbow country of South Africa have a special variety, as much as the diversity of the Muslims living in this country, and it cannot be said that the fasting customs of this country are similar to any of the Islamic countries. that the Muslims of this country observe a mixture of Islamic customs and for this reason they have the least intra-religious conflict..

Malaysia

In Malaysia, Muslims welcome the month of Ramadan with great joy, they buy Ramadan necessities in the markets from the last days of the month of Sha’ban. On the night of the 29th of Sha’ban, when they saw the moon, they wait for the mosques to announce the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan and congratulate the people by sweeping the streets with water and cleaning the mosques and hanging colored lights and strings in them. Most of their busy days are reading Quran and going to mosques .

 

Maghreb

In Morocco, certain people supervise the celebrations and ceremonies of Ramadan during the month of Ramadan, residents of Morocco are busy going to and from the mosque and talking with their small children. The shops and bazaars of Maghreb, which lead to its squares and streets, are open during the month of fasting, and students and scholars visit sweets and bread shops and medicinal plants .

 

During the month of Ramadan, Moroccan families visit famous families with Moroccan dishes and plates with dates, green tea, and harissa halva made from sugar, almonds, and pistachios .

Pakistan

In Pakistan, places of leisure and games are closed and mosques are filled to recite the Quran and religious hadiths, so that the prayer queues in the mosque are long and lead to the closing of the streets. After praying, they break their fast with dates, rice and meat .

Women also prepare the Suhr and Iftar meals and stay awake until the morning call to prayer. Their food during Ramadan is dates, Arabic coffee, minced meat and fish .

Oman

 

The people of Oman, like other countries, have special customs for the holy month of Ramadan. What follows is a brief overview of these customs and ceremonies .

In the holy month of Ramadan, the people of Oman go to the markets of Oman to buy Ramadan supplies and buy different lanterns and lights, which is the custom of most Arab and Islamic countries. Then they provide all kinds of dates and ingredients needed for iftar tables .

 

In this month, the government will change the working hours of the employees. Their working hours start later in the morning and end earlier in the evening .

All the people of Oman, big or small, go to mosques and pray from the time they see the crescent moon until the time of Eid al-Fitr. After the prayer, they have different religious and cultural programs that have been arranged by the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs .

In this ceremony, women and children come to the classrooms to recite the Quran and prepare different foods for the afternoon classes .

 

Despite the progress of science and technology, some of the inner regions of Oman use the customs of the past. One of these traditions is singing at dawn, when people from far away houses are busy waking them up for dawn food and morning prayers and shouting: “Dawn… dawn… fasting people get up.” But in the capital, these singers The reason for the existence of extensive space networks that are busy until dawn are not present.

Omanis go to mosques to offer Maghrib prayers and break their fast with dates and milk or dates and coffee, then go to their homes and break their fast with their families .

 

Iftar food of Omanis is different and it includes “Thareed” which is a piece of bread with meat or chicken or “Makboos” which is a kind of rice with fish or meat .

In the middle of this month, they celebrate the “Qarankshuh” festival. In this celebration, all children come to the streets and go from one house to another and ask for sweets and famous foods. This festival has a different name in other regions of Oman. For example, “Talmis” refers to begging and asking children to receive sweets .

 

Omanis are among the first countries that accepted Islam during the era of the Messenger of God. When the Prophet along with Amr and As went to the two sheikhs of Oman, Jaifar and Abd al-Jalandi, to invite them to Islam, one of the residents of Oman named Mazen bin Ghazouba believed in Islam and became a Muslim, and this was the beginning of the conversion of Omanis to Islam .

Tunisia

 

The people of Tunisia, like other countries, have special customs and traditions for the holy month of Ramadan, the lighting of houses and passages, and extensive prayers are among the special programs of this country on the occasion of the month of Ramadan .

 

Ramadan has a special place among Tunisian people and all Tunisian people, both rich and poor, participate in the celebrations of this month .

 

In this month, all the residents of Tunisia decorate and illuminate all their houses with lights and lamps, in every city, they light up the lights in the streets, alleys and markets, and this unusual movement is not done in other months of the year, even the markets and commercial areas for Satisfying the needs and requirements of the fasting people, they are open until the late hours of the night.

Tunisian families consider Ramadan as a month of comfort and because of the difference in the way of life of families in this age compared to the past times and because it is a rare opportunity, they sit around the same table and break their fast with their first-class family and family members .

 

Tunisia, like most Arab regions, enters the mosques during the month of Ramadan in order to “clearly awaken the thoughts and beliefs” and to receive a wide and abundant welcome of Muslims to perform the divine duty, and in addition to holding Quran classes, they give lectures, sermons and guidance .

In the month of Ramadan, Tunisian people break their fast with milk and dates in mosques, then pray Maghrib and return to the Iftar tables where women place dishes with other foods .

 

The famous foods of Ramadan that are brought to the table are abundant. including “Brick which is boiled egg, chicken meat or minced meat, onion and potato fried in oil. Another dish is “Freek”, which is barley soup with chicken or fish . Another dish that can be found in their iftar table is Tajine, which is a cake made of Roman cheese, eggs, vegetables and meat cooked in the oven. Their main food during Iftar and during Ramadan is various vegetables and meats, which are fried with olive oil .

 Egypt

The face of Islamic cities and countries in the holy month of Ramadan is different from other months . What follows is a brief report about the holy month of Ramadan in Egypt .

 

In this month, all Egyptians, both Muslims and non-Muslims, celebrate. In Cairo, different Arab and non-Arab Egyptian groups have their own celebrations because each of them know this month in a special way and each of them knows its value and dignity .

 

These celebrations are a complex and composite form of celebrations that have remained from the era of Pharaohs, Captans and Muslims. In these celebrations, there are traces of the Fatimids’ initiatives and the heritage of different countries, including the Ottomans, and the ceremonies of other tribes are evident in them. When we refer to the signs of celebrations, we can find the complexity, variety and difference of these celebrations .

 

Cairo turns into two cities during Ramadan, the first is a city from early morning to 2 pm. At this time, this city is a calm and quiet city without the slightest crowding. Then from 2:00 PM until the time of Iftar and Maghrib Azan, and sometimes until midnight, when it becomes a city where there is rampant crowding and there is a lot of noise in the city .

 

However, until Maghrib Azan, there is chaos only in the main streets, and some people break their fast with dates and water in the streets, until all the drivers and people have dates in their hands. Some drivers stop and do not rush to collide, and others drive fast and in a hurry, and this may cause collisions. In the meantime, if one of the fasting people gets hurt, they don’t wait for the officer to inquire about the cause, but everyone tries to break the fast with his family, and such problems between the injured person and the driver disappear and everyone returns to their cars. .

 

Congestion in the capital has many reasons, one of them is the Ramadan ceremony. Crowding during the holy month of Ramadan in Cairo is more than other places in famous places and special streets where officers and police forces are not present. The commercial areas concentrated in the streets of the middle of Cairo city, whose doors are closed during Iftar hours and the workers who are in a hurry to join their families during these hours, fuel this crowding .

 

Another reason is the congestion of its roads and streets, which are stretched like a snake from east to south, and their plan goes back to the Abbasid period. The longest street in Cairo is Corniche, which leads to the entrance of the desert road between Cairo and Alexandria .

 

With this situation and the structure and map of the city, the authorities want the situation to be good, but it will not be possible to reduce congestion in a city whose population reaches 15 million people plus 2 million people who are out of their homes .

 

Chile

 

Everyone loves and worships God everywhere. Perhaps the most beautiful, romantic and pure worship of God lies in fasting, black and white walk towards their beloved in this month .

Chile is a country at the end of the world, in the west of Latin America. The majority of people in this country are Catholics, but a Muslim minority also lives in this country. Currently, about 350,000 Palestinians live in Chile, forming the largest community of Palestinian immigrants in the world. After the Islamic revolution, a large number of people in this country converted to the Ahl al-Bayt religion . 

What you are reading is the result of our conversation with “Mr. Khalil Yaroub Sahouri”, an expert from Chile, about the customs of the Muslim people of Senegal during the holy month of Ramadan .

Welcome

About 50% of the Muslims in Chile are fasting. They honor the arrival of the blessed month and prepare themselves to attend the mosques and ceremonies of this month .

 

Sharia times; The main problem

The most important problem of the Muslims of Chile in the blessed month of Ramadan is the issue of determining the Sharia times. Between the country of Chile and the east, a huge mountain called the “Andes Mountain Range” (or in the local language: There is Los Andes) which has an altitude of 6,000 meters. The country of Chile is located between that mountain range and the Pacific Ocean, and this elevation makes it difficult for people to determine the exact time of Sharia morning. In order to solve this problem and know the times of iftar and dawn, the people of Chile get help from the Internet or the people of Argentina. Also, there is a government site in Chile that determines and announces the geographical times .

 

Six months of night, six months of day

The distance from north to south of Chile is 4,000 km. Therefore, these two parts have many differences from each other. Northern Chile has many dry and hot deserts. The people of southern Chile spend 6 months of the year in the night and 6 months in the day. The city of Pontarnas, located in this region, has good fat sheep that are exported to Arab countries. Therefore, Muslims work in it for legal slaughter. Due to this difference in the fasting hours, they face a difficult time .

 

Special clothes in Ramadan

Chilean Muslims wear special clothes during the month of Ramadan – as well as on Fridays throughout the year – as a sign of their Muslim status; Like Islamic and Arabic long dresses and Indian or Pakistani hats. Their reason for doing so is “following the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH)” .

 

Worship and mosque

Since the  Shiites do not have native clerics, this month they use Shiite missionaries from Argentina. Sometimes, when there is a problem in sending this amount, the fasting people form circles after the Isha prayer and talk about this month. Also, a religious text is prepared and read by one person to the audience .

But the Sunnis have a schedule of Tarawih prayer and Quran reading. Every year they invite a cleric from Egypt to manage their religious programs. They also organize circles where hadiths are recited .

It is necessary to mention that the Taraweeh prayer did not exist during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and it is one of the things that were added to the worship during the time of the second Caliph and now it is only the concern of Sunnis .

 

feeding

Shiites cook a lot of food on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and receive fasting people in their mosques and institutions .

Sunnis also slaughter a large number of sheep in this month and distribute the food in a large mosque called “Masjid al-Salam” in the capital of Chile. They sit on the floor and eat together in large trays with several types of food. They eat their food with their hands .

 

nutrition

In Chile, it is not common to cook special food and sweets for Ramadan. Only some Arab families prepare special foods and snacks for this month .

 

Senegal

Everyone loves and worships God everywhere. Perhaps the most beautiful, romantic and pure worship of God lies in fasting, black and white walk towards their beloved in this month .

Senegal is a country in the west of the Black Continent, with the capital “Dakar” with an area of 95,000 thousand square kilometers and a population of about 14 million. More than 95 percent of the people of Senegal are Muslims, and most of them have an average economic status . 

What you are reading is the result of our conversation with Hojat-ul-Islam and Muslims Ahmed Khan, a commentator from Senegal, about the customs and traditions of the Muslim people of Senegal during the holy month of Ramadan .

Welcome

Before the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan, the people of Senegal prepare themselves to welcome it; They clean the mosques; They demand solvency from each other; They also draw their attention to religious lectures and Quran meetings .

 

mosque

In this month, Senegalese people who are lax about prayer also regularly go to the mosque; They pray in congregation and listen to the interpretation of the Qur’an .

 

Quran

In this month of the Quran, mosques interpret the Quran from the beginning to the end. Even mosques that don’t have Quran teachers, they definitely invite teachers from other places .

The noon prayer is held at 1:50 a.m., after the noon prayer, the interpretation of the Qur’an begins and continues until after the evening prayer, that is, around 5:00 a.m. People consider themselves responsible that if they don’t finish the interpretation of the entire Quran by the end of Ramadan, then after the month of Ramadan, they continue the interpretation of the Quran until they reach Surah Nas, that is, the last chapter of the Quran .

  

feeding

After the prayer, some people take food for the worshipers in the mosques so that they can receive the fasting people immediately after the Maghrib prayer .

 

Nutrition

Iftar food is usually bread, milk, coffee and cold water, and of course dates; Because it is recommended that the fasting person breaks his fast with dates. No one drinks tea in Senegal .

Nabom or one hour after Iftar, the main meal is eaten. Senegalese people do not eat rice during dinner during normal days of the year; But in the month of Ramadan, rice is consumed exclusively at night .

 

Television

TV programs that are broadcasted from 10:00 AM to 3:00 AM have a religious program in this month before Iftar, and more than other months, they broadcast religious programs such as 10-minute lectures .

But there is no special series or movie for this month. Only after breaking the fast, he plays a comedy movie for people’s laugh and entertainment .

 

Magic

People stay at home after praying at night. At 4 o’clock in the morning, one of the people voluntarily walks in the alleys and streets and calls people and wakes them up to eat suhoor and pray .

 

Ghadr night

Because Sunnis are in the majority, the night of Qadr is not known exactly; But it is more likely that the 27th of Ramadan is the night of Qadr .

The mosque is filled with people on the night of the 27th. People worship, pray and remember until morning. At the dawn of this night, the food cooked by the ladies of the same place is taken to the mosque and they welcome the people. After the morning prayer, people go to their homes and sleep .

 

ladies

According to Sunnis, it is better for women to pray at home and not go to the mosque, except for Friday prayers. But women go to the mosque exceptionally on Shab Qadr (the night of 27th of Ramadan) . 

 

Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr is very important in Senegal; It is so important that near Eid, the mosques become a little quiet, because people see the preparations for Eid and prepare themselves for it .

In this Eid, people buy new clothes and celebrate. In short, it is like Nowruz in Iran .

The people of Senegal give Fitira before prayer and even a day before Eid, so that the poor can celebrate this Eid . 

 

France

 

The French Republic is the largest country in Western Europe. This country has a common land border with the countries of Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra and Spain with the capital of Paris. Britain is also connected to France through the Channel Tunnel .

Nutrition

With the beginning of the month of Mubarak, the markets of the Muslim-populated areas of France take on the mood of Ramadan. The sale of dates and special sweets can be seen everywhere, and the sound of the Quran and Islamic hymns and sometimes Arabic music in the markets also add to this enthusiasm .

In this month, French Muslims show great interest in eating “kebab”, “mix” and a type of Arabic halva made from dates and chickpeas. “Mint tea”, “soup” and “kaski ” ( a common food of the Arab Maghreb, which is prepared from wheat flour and meat) are also among the drinks and foods that can be found in every Arabic restaurant in France. Cafe Chahar Baradar” in Paris is also one of the centers that gets crowded during Iftar . Kebab, which is more famous by its Turkish name, similar to this Iranian leaf and chenje kebab, is offered in this restaurant and other grocery stores .

In the small but attractive street of Moftar in the center of Paris, you can find many food shops that welcome iftar with “Halal” signs and the sound of the Quran or Islamic hymns and sometimes Arabic music .

 

mosques

Hussainiyah Shiites

Hosseinse Bino”, a residential area that belongs to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Paris, was purchased a decade ago for the establishment of the consulate , but due to oppositionSarkozy” who was the mayor of “Bino” region at that time, this work was not implemented. Since then, this place has been used to hold religious ceremonies of Iranians and followers of the Ahl al-Bayt religion, especially during the days of Muharram, the holy month of Ramadan, and Fatimah, assigned to the extent that due to the long use of this place, it is now known as “Hosseinieh Bino” or “Bino Center” among the Shiites of Paris..

 

good things

In addition to organizing prayer, fasting and Qur’an recitation meetings, French Muslims have helped the French Muslim community by creating a charity fund and they also provide gifts to help Muslim families and sometimes even needy non-Muslim families. This is while non-Muslims always praise this beautiful and unique feature of Islam and Muslims. The cost of alms and breaking the fast in this holy month is provided by collective participation and Islamic organizations, which are actually the supporters and planners of mosques, help in providing these costs .

 

Art and exhibition programs

French Muslims, like other Muslims living in the West, use this month as a golden opportunity to familiarize non-Muslims with Islam. Every year, Paris Mosque tries to organize a book fair, in which most of the Muslim and Arab publishers participate.

Areas without sunset

In some areas, there are days without sunset. There are two jurisprudential opinions about prayer, fasting and Sharia times in these regions: 1. According to the opinion of some Shiite scholars, the residents of these areas should fast and pray according to the horizon of the closest sunset area.  2. According to the opinion of another group of scholars, the Muslims of these regions should act according to the horizon of conventional cities that have almost equal day and night (such as Mecca and Medina)..
