If you are visiting a country during Ramadan, the Ramadan buffet at these chosen restaurant is just the place to go for a delicious meal.
Ramadan is the holiest month of the Islamic calendar. The period of Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon (the “Fajr”) and ends with the “Mawlid an-Nabi” (the birth of the Prophet Muhammad).
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and during this month Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, having sex, and from any other bodily acts from dawn to dusk. Ramadan is also a time to focus on personal improvement and spiritual growth, to perform charitable deeds, and to increase ones commitment to Islam.
In the month of Ramadan, Muslims are asked to fast during the daylight hours and partake in Iftar after dark. Iftar is the meal where Muslims break their fast, but it’s more than just a meal- it’s a time for families to be together and to celebrate.
It’s a time to give thanks and to share food, love, and care with each other. It’s also a time for people to share with the poor. So if you’re looking for a good place to break your fast in Ramadan, we got you covered by providing you with some places you should definitely check out and visit!
The month of fasting or as we call it Ramadan is almost here! The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramiḍa or ar-ramaḍ, which means scorching heat or dryness. When it’s time for Pre-fasting meals before dawn (Suhoor) and post-fast breaking feasts after sunset (Iftar), we wanted to make sure your tummy are being taken care of!
If you’re looking for a good place to break fast (Iftar) after sunset with beloved family during this fasting month, we got you covered by providing you places you should definitely check out and visit!
