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.
