A Special Taste in Morocco
In
Morocco as well as in other Muslim countries, Ramadan has a special
taste. During weekends, Moroccans residing in big cities travel to
the countryside to enjoy fresh air and practice joyful sports.
Civil
servants are permitted to leave work as soon as they hear “Allahu
Akbar,” Allah is the Greatest. In addition, it is dominant to see
people treating one another kindly and an atmosphere of compassion,
forsaking the fake glory of this worldly life encompasses all.
In
Morocco, the Night of Qadr, is characterized by a special occasion.
The father accompanies his male children after breaking the fast to
the Mosque in order to pray `Isha and Taraweeh in congregation.
Female children, on the other hand remain in the house rejoicing
with neighbors until the father comes back home. Upon the
father’s return, all rejoice and go sightseeing in the city’s
capital.
