All Things to Welcome The Month of Ramadhan
Ramadhan is a holy month in Islamic Year that Muslims celebrate by abstaining from eating and drinking and prevent them selves from negative behaviors during the period of just before sunrise and sunset. In the evenings, Muslims do the night time prayers knows as tarawih * In Indonesia, Ramadhan is celebrated with many traditions. One of them is Buka bersama, or iftar together. Bukber can be done with family, co-workers, or former school-mates.

1) Sahur
Sahur is an activity of eating that is done before the sun rises before the time of imsak or dawn prayer falls. Meanwhile, according to the prophet, we should end eating sahur so that we will be stronger in fasting.
2) Tarawih
Unlike other moon nights, it is only in the month of Ramadhan that people, especially muslims, carry out sunah prayers in congregation at the mosque wich area called tarawih prayers. Tarawih prayers are sunnah and can be performed in congregation at the mosque or alone at home.
