Ramadan Iftar Recipe | Taste from Algeria

In Algeria, many Muslim women work as well as take care of the household things. During Ramadan, they become even more busy with work, shopping for food and hours spent in the kitchen cooking food for iftar. And usually men in the household do not cook.

Traditions dictate that the iftar menu include, in addition to soup, a dish of white or red meat, some small entrées, and salads plus desserts. This menu requires several hours of preparation and considerable effort. Despite all the hard work, and at times the complaints that the men do not do enough to help them, Algerian women will always take pride in the food they prepare.

One of the famous Algerian food that is prepared for iftar is the Shorba. The Shorba is a type of soup. Here is a tasty Chorba recipe.

ramadan kareem greetings (ramadhan kareem greetings) ramadan mubarak

Every year in the month of Ramadan (ramadhan), all Muslims fast from dawn until sundown, abstaining from food and drink, and any physical needs, pleasures and wants. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are exempted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed.The fasting during Ramadan is regarded as a method of self purification, closeness to god, and forgiveness.


Here a site where you can find ramadan greeting cards: http://www.ramadan-greetings.com/

what is ramadan ramadhan fast

What is ramadan ramadhan fast?

Abraham (peace be upon him) used to fast as part of his prayers to god almighty (allah is arabic). Muslim follow the prayers that Abraham has made before the revelation of koran (quran, coran) that was delivered to mankind via prophet mohammed (peace be upon him).

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. They follow normal muslim life from sun set (maghrib) to dawn (fajr).

Not eating is part of fasting but is not fasting. By fasting it is meant to abstain from food, drink (including water even a small drop), and other physical needs during the daylight hours. someone wrotre: ramadan should be viewed "as a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice".It is much more than just not eating and drinking.

Chidren do not fast (although they insist), as well as the ills and those unable to fast due to health and illness reasons.
