Every year Moroccans celebrate the first day of Ramadan. The pastry, the traditional dishes and the spiritual vibes all ready for 30 days. But how about those who are forced to leave the country for studies, work or family purposes ? How do Moroccans living abroad get by during this holy month ? Yabiladi spoke to Moroccans residing in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and France to give an idea about Ramadan abroad.
Ramadan and the lockdown have been a difficult combination for those who do not observe the holy month and are currently confined with their families. While some of them manage to circumvent the situation, others have had their choices tolerated and sometimes accepted by their loved ones.
Several countries, around the world, will be celebrating the first day of Ramadan on Monday, including Australia, Belgium and France. Moonsighting will be conducted Sunday in Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Mauritania.
Muslim communities in several capitals across the world have confirmed moon-sighting, celebrating Eid Al-Fitr on the first day of Shawwal. Know when countries around the world will end the fasting and embrace the Eid.
Akrou M., Mohcine B., Fadoua N., Meriyam A. and Ibtissam Lachgar are five Moroccan atheists who decided not to fast in a country where eating in public during Ramadan is punishable by law. They have all opened up about their daily routine in Ramadan in an article published by Aswat Maghribiya.
In countries like Finland and Sweden the sun is there to stay for more than 22 hours a day. For Muslims who are living there, fasting might be a challenge knowing that they will have only a few hours to break the fast and yet adapt to the modern lifestyle of the Baltic States.
