The Comoros Islands
The
Comoros are found off the east coast of Africa, between Mozambique
and Madagascar.
On
the coast of the Islands, the Muslims keep awake till the morning
time. The Muslims of the Comoros rejoice to welcome the blessed
month of Ramadan from the beginning of the month of Sha`ban. In
Ramadan, they decorate the mosques with lamps and gather there to
perform prayer and recite the Glorious Qur’an. Also, they give
out charity and increase their good deeds.
On
the first night of Ramadan, people go out of their houses to the
coast with their lamps in their hands. The rays of their lit lamps
reflect on the sea, and they beat their drums to announce the
arrival of Ramadan and remain there until midnight.
Among
the well-known foods of the Comoros are soup, meat, mango, and so
on. The people drink the juice of pineapple and other fruits.
