Your world, My world and OUR World.

Hello All,
Sorry this page took so long. I wanted to write some more information about other activities that are also part of Ramadan. Just a couple of random things that I remembered and thought would be interesting to share.

1. We break our fast at sunset, and when we do we eat a big big meal, which is called Fotoor. It means breakfast in Arabic because well that is what we are doing, we are breaking our fast. LOL.
2. We break our fast with dates ( which actually have lots of nutritional value) and buttermilk or regular milk. We do that because it was the tradition of our prophet Mohammed. It is called Sunna and all Muslims are to follow the Sunna in many of their daily activates and decisions.
3. Just like Christmas and Halloween, there are certain foods that we only eat during Ramadan. Some of these foods are deserts and some are salty foods. I’m not really sure why we only eat these foods during Ramadan? Maybe because they are harder to make and thus we save them for special occasions. I will ask my mother and then update you guys.

Hit me if you guys have any questions.
