Ramadan — World Calendar Day

Ramadan

In Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority nation, Ramadan transforms the country. The pre-dawn meal (sahur) is eaten at 3 AM, the fast lasts until sunset, and the breaking of the fast (buka puasa) is a communal event. In Jakarta, the Ramadan markets (Pasar Ramadhan) sell kolak (banana and coconut compote), es buah (fruit ice), and dates by the kilogram. The traffic at 5 PM is the worst of the year, because everyone is rushing home to break the fast, and the patience is the best of the year, because everyone is hungry. . 2026: Mar 1. 2027: Feb 18.

Ramadan in Palestine

Ramadan in Palestine is a month of fasting, prayer, and community. The iftar (breaking of the fast) begins with dates and water, followed by fattoush (salad with fried bread), hummus, falafel, and qatayef (sweet pastry filled with cheese or nuts). The mosques are full, and Taraweeh prayers are attended by men and women alike. In Jerusalem, thousands pray at Al-Aqsa. In the West Bank, the Musaharati : a traditional drummer : walks the streets before dawn, calling people to suhoor. Ramadan in Palestine is not just a religious observance; it is a cultural institution. The tradition is to break the fast with family, friends, and neighbours : and to give generously to those in need. . 2026: Mar 1. 2027: Feb 18.
