Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and celebrated by Muslims throughout the
world by fasting and commemorate the first revelation that came down to the Prophet
Muhammad in the belief of Muslims.

During ramadhan people have to do fasting for 29-30 days based on the observation of the new
moon. Before fasting muslim gonna do sahur, sahur is breakfast on ramadhan it start from
midnight to subuh prayer . After that during the fasting muslim usually go to mosque to do
tadarus or reciting qur’an, in the evening people gonna hunt for food in the market for break the
fast that activities called ngabuburit in Indonesia. Muslim gonna break their fast on maghrib
prayer they usually drink water first to break the fast and then they gonna eat kurma and go to
the main dishes. After that muslim gonna go to mosque to do tarawih prayer. Tarawih prayer is
a special prayer muslim peform only in ramadhan. It is sunnah of the prophet, which mean that
it was his practice to peform tarawih and muslim are encourage to do likewise , but it is not
obligatory. After that they usually gonna go home and sleep, but in my home area they’re gonna
be some people that stay up late or wake up on the midnight to waking up people to do sahur
they usually waking up people with some song that they make , not just saying sahur so loud that
make some neighbor angry. On the last day of ramadhan muslim gonna do sholawatan,
sholawatan is a special on the ramadhan that last for 24 hour. After that muslim gonna celebrate
idul fitri or lebaran in Indonesia, idul fitri or lebaran is one of the islamic fest day, people gonna
do id prayer in the morning, after doing ide prayer muslim gonna come to their family house and
for kid they usually gonna get a money from older people,because they’ve completed fasting on
ramadhan.
