Ramadan Around the World: Unique Traditions That Make the Holy Month Special
Eisya Ereena
February 28, 2025
7 min
Ramadan is a time of fasting, reflection, and devotion.
While Muslims worldwide observe the same core practices, each culture adds its own special touch.
From glowing lanterns in Egypt to bustling bazaars in Malaysia, every country has traditions that make the holy month even more meaningful.
Let’s explore how different cultures celebrate Ramadan and the unique customs that bring communities together.
Egypt: Fanoos Lanterns and the Mesaharaty
In Egypt, Ramadan is incomplete without Fanoos lanterns.
These beautifully decorated lights hang in homes, streets, and mosques, creating a warm and festive glow.
This tradition began during the Fatimid era, when lanterns were used to light the streets at night.
Over time, they became a symbol of Ramadan joy.
Today, families gift them to children as a way to mark the start of the month.
Another well-known tradition is the Mesaharaty.
Before sahur, a man walks through the streets, beating a drum and calling out names to wake people up.
In many areas, children wait eagerly to hear their names, making it an exciting moment before dawn.
Egyptian iftar meals often include khoshaf (a dried fruit and nut drink), mahshi (stuffed vegetables), and konafa (a sweet pastry soaked in syrup).
Families also gather for communal iftar meals in public spaces, ensuring that everyone has food to break their fast.
Turkey: Public Iftars and Ramadan Drummers
In Turkey, iftar is a community event.
Families, neighbours and strangers gather at long tables set up in mosques, parks, and town squares.
Some restaurants even offer free iftar meals, emphasising the spirit of giving during Ramadan.
A beloved tradition in Turkey is the Ramadan drummers (Ramazan Davulcusu).
These men, dressed in traditional Ottoman clothing, march through neighbourhoods playing drums to wake people for sahur.
This practice has continued for over 400 years, and in some areas, families tip the drummers as a token of appreciation.
At the end of Ramadan, Turkish families celebrate Eid al-Fitr, known as Şeker Bayramı (Sugar Feast).
Children receive sweets like baklava and Turkish delight as they visit relatives and neighbours.
Indonesia: Fireworks, Ngabuburit, and Eid Homecomings
Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, welcomes Ramadan with lively traditions.
In Semarang, the start of the month is marked by Dugderan, a festival featuring fireworks, parades, and puppet shows.
During Ramadan, Indonesians observe Ngabuburit - a tradition where families spend time before iftar by strolling through parks, shopping at markets, or enjoying street performances.
Many stop by food stalls to buy traditional Ramadan snacks like kolak (sweet coconut dessert) and es buah (fruit ice drink).
As Ramadan ends, Indonesia experiences Mudik, one of the world’s largest annual migrations.
Millions of people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate Eid with family.
Roads, airports, and bus stations become packed with travellers, all eager to reunite with loved ones.
Malaysia: Ramadan Bazaars and Moreh Gatherings
Ramadan in Malaysia is a feast for the senses, especially with its famous Ramadan bazaars.
Every evening, streets fill with vendors selling dishes like murtabak, ayam percik, and roti john. The aroma of grilled satay and fresh kuih fills the air, making it hard to resist a quick purchase.
Another important tradition is moreh, which takes place after tarawih prayers.
Mosques offer light meals such as bubur lambuk (spiced porridge), fried noodles, and traditional kuih.
These gatherings strengthen community bonds and give worshippers a chance to socialise after prayers.
During Eid al-Fitr (Hari Raya Aidilfitri), Malaysian families host 'open houses', inviting relatives, friends, and even strangers to enjoy homemade festive meals.
This tradition reflects Malaysia’s strong culture of hospitality and unity.
Morocco: The Nafar’s Call and Harira Soup
In Morocco, the Nafar signals the start of sahur.
This man, dressed in a traditional djellaba, blows a horn through the streets, a practice that has been followed for centuries.
Moroccan iftar meals begin with harira, a tomato-based soup made with lentils, chickpeas, and spices.
Other popular dishes include chebakia, a sesame honey cookie, and mint tea.
Families also gather for Ramadan storytelling sessions, where elders share folktales from Moroccan history.
On Eid, Moroccans wear embroidered kaftans and djellabas, visit family members, and exchange sweets as part of the celebration.
Pakistan: Street Iftars and Chaand Raat Festivities
Ramadan in Pakistan is deeply community-oriented.
Mosques and charity organisations set up free street iftars, ensuring that everyone has food.
Families also send trays of home-cooked food to neighbours as an act of kindness.
One of the most anticipated nights is Chaand Raat (Moon Night), the evening before Eid.
Markets stay open late as people shop for last-minute outfits, buy bangles, and apply henna.
The streets are bustling with excitement, making it a night of joy and festivity.
Eid morning begins with prayers, followed by family gatherings where people enjoy sheer khurma, a rich vermicelli dessert made with milk and nuts.
Senegal: Ndogou and Community Iftars
In Senegal, Ramadan is all about togetherness.
One of the most cherished traditions is Ndogou, where families and neighbours gather for communal iftar meals.
Senegalese iftar spreads typically include dates, coffee, bread, and lakh, a porridge made with millet and baobab fruit.
Many families prepare extra food to share with their neighbours, ensuring that no one breaks their fast alone.
Eid celebrations in Senegal are vibrant and filled with music, festive meals, and colourful traditional clothing.
Bangladesh: Iftar Delights and a Spirit of Charity
Ramadan in Bangladesh is a time of deep spiritual reflection and strong community ties.
The mosques fill with worshippers for extended prayers, including tarawih after the Isha prayer.
Streets and marketplaces come alive with festive decorations, adding to the excitement of the month.
The daily fast is broken with a traditional iftar spread, featuring popular dishes like jilapi (a sweet, deep-fried delicacy), piazu (spiced onion fritters), and beguni (crispy battered eggplant slices).
These foods are not just a source of nourishment but also an essential part of the shared iftar experience with family and friends.
Charity plays a significant role in Bangladeshi Ramadan traditions.
Acts of zakat (almsgiving) and food distribution to those in need increase, reinforcing the spirit of generosity.
Ramadan’s Universal Spirit with Unique Traditions
Despite the differences in customs, Ramadan’s essence remains the same.
It is a time of faith, reflection, self-discipline, and generosity.
From Egypt’s Fanoos lanterns to Malaysia’s bustling bazaars and Turkey’s Ramadan drummers, each country adds its own cultural touch.
These traditions bring people closer together, making the holy month more meaningful and memorable.
Wherever Ramadan is observed, it serves as a reminder of unity, gratitude, and community spirit.
Ramadan Mubarak with love from Motherhood! May Allah's blessings shine upon you and yours throughout this sacred month.

How to Help Your Child Fast at School with Ease This Ramadan
Eisya Ereena
March 01, 2025
3 min
Fasting during Ramadan is a beautiful and meaningful experience.
But for some children, particularly those fasting at school, it can come with its own set of challenges.
In a diverse school setting where not all students are fasting, it’s natural for kids to have questions.
Some may be fasting for the first time, while others might already be used to it but still struggle with the long hours.
As parents, these moments become opportunities for important conversations that help our children understand, navigate, and embrace Ramadan with pride.'Why Are My Friends Eating, But I Can’t?'
One of the biggest questions children may often ask is why they can’t eat while their classmates can.
Sitting in a classroom, watching friends pull out snacks or eat lunch while they have to wait until Maghrib can feel unfair.
It’s important to explain that fasting is not a punishment but rather something special that they are doing.
Instead of focusing on what they can’t do, encourage them to see fasting as a personal challenge, something that helps them build strength, patience, and empathy.
Remind them that just as they are fasting, others are not, and that’s okay.
Ramadan teaches respect and understanding for different people’s choices, and this is an opportunity for them to learn how to navigate that with kindness and confidence.'Why Do I Feel Tired While My Friends Are Running Around?'
The noticeable drop in energy as the day goes on can be frustrating, especially when they can’t keep up with their friends during recess or when they feel exhausted after just a few laps of running around the classroom.
This is a great time to introduce the idea of managing their energy wisely.
Comparing their body to a phone battery that needs to last the whole day can help them understand why pacing themselves is important.
Encourage them to engage in gentler activities like reading, drawing, or chatting with friends rather than running and playing as they usually would.
Reassure them that it’s completely normal to feel tired and that taking care of their body is part of the fasting experience.'Why Is the Day So Long?'
The long wait for iftar can feel endless, especially when hunger and thirst start to set in.
One way to make the day feel shorter is to break it into smaller sections.
Instead of thinking about the entire duration of the fast, encourage them to focus on smaller milestones, such as getting through the morning, then recess, then another class before home time.
Giving them something to look forward to at home (like helping to prepare iftar) can also make the anticipation more exciting rather than just a waiting game.'Is It Okay If I Can’t Fast the Whole Day?'
Not all children will be able to complete a full fast, and that’s okay too.
Some might start with half-days, while others may struggle and need encouragement.
The key conversation here is to reinforce that fasting is a journey, not a competition.
Every child’s experience will be different, and it’s not about who fasts the longest.
Instead, it's about learning discipline and self-control at their own pace.
Whether a child makes it to mid-day or manages to complete the entire day, every effort should be acknowledged and celebrated.
The goal is for them to develop a love and appreciation for Ramadan rather than seeing it as an obligation they have to struggle through.Helping Kids Embrace Ramadan with Confidence and Joy
These conversations matter because Ramadan is about more than just abstaining from food and drink.
It is about patience, gratitude, and self-discipline.
By approaching these challenges with understanding, we can help our children navigate fasting at school in a way that makes them feel proud rather than discouraged.
With the right mindset, fasting at school can become a meaningful and empowering experience, one that helps them embrace Ramadan with confidence and joy.
For parents who have been through this, what are some ways you help your children manage fasting at school?
What conversations have helped them understand and enjoy the experience?
Let’s share and support each other in making Ramadan a beautiful and rewarding time for our children.
Ramadan Mubarak with love from Motherhood! May Allah's blessings shine upon you and yours throughout this sacred month.

Mummy Shares: How I'm Getting My Kids Hyped for Ramadan
Eisya Ereena
February 27, 2025
6 min
If there’s one thing kids universally love, it’s a celebration.
And when it comes to celebrations in my household, Christmas has always had the upper hand.
Wrapped in a perfect package of twinkling lights, presents under a tree, countdown calendars, and an air of excitement that makes the wait feel just as special as the day itself.
But what about Ramadan?
Traditionally, Ramadan has been introduced to children as a time of self-discipline, reflection, and worship.
It's deeply meaningful, of course, but doesn’t always translate to the kind of wide-eyed excitement that little ones thrive on.
However, this year, with my kids being more aware, we’re changing that.
We’re making Ramadan magical, creating new family traditions that build anticipation, excitement, and joy! All while still honouring the beauty of the holy month.
Because why should only one festive season get all the fun?
Turning Our Home into a Ramadan Wonderland
Nothing gets children into the spirit of a celebration quite like transforming their environment.
Many homes light up during Christmas.
Similarly, this year, we’re making sure our home carries the warmth and joy of Ramadan.
The glow of fairy lights will bring a soft, cosy ambience.
On the other hand, battery-operated candles will add a peaceful touch.
All of these will create sense of calm and reflection.
A Ramadan countdown calendar will become a key part of our décor, offering small daily gestures that the kids can look forward to.
Alongside it, we’ll be hanging decorative lanterns and ornaments, adding a magical feel to the house.
Creating a dedicated Ramadan corner will also help set the tone for the month.
It'll be a space where they can find books, a little prayer area, and a simple activity chart that helps them engage with the spirit of Ramadan in a way that feels fun and interactive.
Setting the Screen Time Vibe for Ramadan
Instead of the usual cartoons, we’re pivoting towards shows that introduce Ramadan in a way that children can understand and enjoy.
There’s something powerful about seeing characters they love engaging in the traditions of Ramadan. From fasting and preparing for iftar, to learning about kindness and patience.
It normalises these values for them and makes the month feel less like an obligation. Instead, more like an exciting, shared experience.
The best part? Less arguing over what to watch!
Because if it’s Ramadan-approved, everyone is on board.
Building Excitement Through the Anticipation of Hari Raya
There’s no denying that kids love presents.
So, rather than simply handing out duit raya on Hari Raya morning, we’re making the experience feel even more rewarding by preparing small gifts in advance.
Instead of focusing on material rewards, these gifts will be linked to their Ramadan journey.
For every fasting goal achieved, whether it’s a half-day fast, a full day, or simply making an effort to try - they’ll have something to look forward to.
There will also be a gift for acts of kindness and patience throughout the month.
This is to reinforce the idea that Ramadan isn’t just about abstaining from food but also about developing good character.
For children old enough to join tarawih prayers, a small reward at the end of the month will be a great way to encourage participation.
By linking excitement to meaningful actions, they will experience the joy of Hari Raya as a culmination of their efforts throughout Ramadan.
Making Iftar Something to Look Forward To
Food is always a central part of Ramadan, and instead of just waiting for iftar to roll around, we’re giving the kids something to be actively excited about.
When I asked my son what he was most excited about this Ramadan, his answer was simple, 'To eat fruits and drink yummy drinks with Mummy and Papa.'
No elaborate feast, no complicated cravings—just the joy of sharing a meal with us after a long day of waiting.
Kids are beautifully uncomplicated that way.
So, this year, we’re making iftar something they can truly look forward to by involving them in the process.
They’re coming along on our grocery runs, getting to pick out their favourite fruits, dishes, and snacks, knowing that these will be part of our iftar spread.
It’s not just about the food itself, it’s about making them feel included. And about turning this into their Ramadan experience rather than just something they follow along with.
Whether it’s mangoes or their much-loved no-bones-please ayam goreng, knowing that something they personally chose is waiting for them at the table makes the wait feel all the more worthwhile.
And perhaps, in their own little way, it helps them understand that Ramadan is not just about abstaining.
It’s about the anticipation, gratitude, and joy that comes with finally breaking fast together.
Adding a Personal Touch to Their Worship
To make prayers feel more engaging and special, we’re introducing a new Ramadan tradition.
We let the kids pick out their own colourful sejadah (prayer mat) for the month!
There’s something about having a fresh, personally chosen prayer mat that makes the experience more meaningful to them.
It’s a simple way to bring excitement to something that might otherwise feel like just another grown-up responsibility.
This small gesture can turn tarawih at home into an experience they actually look forward to, rather than something they feel like they have to do.
Creating a Ramadan Corner for Reflection and Learning
This year, we’re setting up a dedicated Ramadan reading and activity space where the kids can fully immerse themselves in the spirit of the month.
This space will feature Ramadan-themed books, a countdown calendar to mark the days, and a simple chart to track good deeds and mini fasting goals.
The idea is to give them a space of their own where they can engage with Ramadan in a way that feels fun, interactive, and suited to their age.
By providing engaging reading material and hands-on activities, they’ll begin to see Ramadan not just as a time of restriction.
Instead, they'll recognise it as a month filled with learning and personal growth.
Making Ramadan Joyful Without Losing Its Essence
At the end of the day, Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement and devotion.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a time of joy and excitement for our little ones.
By introducing small traditions that build anticipation, we’re helping our children develop a love for this holy month.
When we make faith and joy go hand-in-hand, we create traditions that they will carry with them for life.
And that, in itself, is the greatest gift we can give them.
So, parents, if you have unique traditions or ideas that help get your little ones excited for the holy month, share it with us!
The more we create joy and anticipation around Ramadan, the more our children will grow up treasuring its beauty.
Salam Ramadan from us at Motherhood to you and your family.

Are Young Children Ready for Digital Payments?
Eisya Ereena
February 26, 2025
4 min
I still remember the first time I held money in my tiny hands a crisp RM10 note that made me feel like the richest kid in Subang Jaya.
It was my parents’ way of teaching me a little independence, letting me march up to the counter and pay for my own snack.
Fast forward to 2025, and suddenly, school canteens are going cashless?
No more rummaging through my purse for small change in the mornings.
No more sneaking an emergency RM2 into my child’s pocket, just in case.
Instead, they’re strutting off to recess with a tiny debit card dangling from a lanyard like a mini executive grabbing lunch between meetings.
And just like that, we’ve entered the era of cashless canteens.
But the real question is: Are young kids actually ready for digital spending?
Money Without Money: The Digital Dilemma
There’s something oddly comforting about physically handing over cash.
You see it, you feel it, and when it leaves your hand, you know it’s gone.
But with a debit card? Not so much.
One tap and it’s over.
For adults, this is already dangerous (raise your hand if you’ve ever told yourself, 'It’s just RM8.90'… ten times in a row).
But for kids?
The idea that money is finite does not even exist when all they’re doing is tapping their card.
I mean, does a young child even know that RM10 doesn’t magically appear every time they tap?
Without actual physical cash, it’s much harder for kids to understand what they’re spending and what they have left.
And let’s be real, if we, as adults, struggle with impulse spending (hello, late-night online shopping), how can we expect young children to regulate themselves?
When Small Amounts Adds Up Fast
Let’s talk about the dangers of invisible spending.
One day, they’re buying a RM1 kuih.
The next, they’re feeling fancy and adding an extra iced Milo.
And before you know it, they’re walking out with a full-blown school canteen feast, treating their friends - why not if the card always works, right?
The difference between holding RM5 in coins and having RM20 sitting in a digital account is huge when you’re a kid.
With cash, they physically see their money reducing, which helps them decide what they really want.
But with a card?
Tap, tap, tap and suddenly, they’re broke by Wednesday.
Shima, the Malaysian mummy who sparked this debate online, pointed out that younger kids (Standard 1-3) might not be ready to manage money this way.
And honestly? She has a point.
Children are still learning basic addition and subtraction, let alone the concept of budgeting.
If they don’t feel the loss of money, how will they ever learn to spend wisely?
The Great Parent Hack: Cashless, but With Boundaries
Of course, cashless canteens aren’t all bad.
In fact, they have some serious perks.
For one, parents can track spending in real-time.
No more mystery purchases, no more wondering if lunch money went towards food or a new eraser shaped like a Paw Patrol character.
And, of course, it reduces the risk of kids losing cash or having it stolen.
But like all things, it needs rules and boundaries.
Here’s what we can do:
- Limit the balance: Load a fixed amount per week so kids learn to pace themselves instead of going wild on Day 1.
- Give them a budget plan: If they get RM10 a week, explain how much they should ideally be spending per day.
- Keep the card on a lanyard: Because let’s be honest, kids lose things. A lot.
- Teach them to check their balance: Make them responsible for knowing when they need a top-up.
- Talk about impulse spending: Explain why buying three extra snacks in one day might mean no more money for Friday.
Because at the end of the day, going cashless isn’t the problem; the lack of financial literacy is.
The Future Is Cashless But Let’s Make It Smart
Whether we like it or not, cashless spending is here to stay.
Our kids will grow up in a world where digital payments are the norm.
So, teaching them how to manage it early isn’t just useful, it’s necessary.
But just like how we learned the value of RM5 through saving up, our kids need to learn that a tap of a card isn’t just 'magic money'.
It’s real and limited - and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
So, if schools want to make canteens cashless, let’s make sure they also make financial education a priority.
Because a child with a debit card but no money sense?
That’s a financial disaster waiting to happen.
What’s Your Take?
So mummies and daddies, would you feel comfortable giving your child a debit card for school spending?
Have you already experienced the joys (or horrors) of a cashless canteen?
