MALAYSIA ANNOUNCES THE RAMADAN BAZAR

As the fasting month begins, stalls and bazaars sprout around the
city, offering an array of delicious fare for Muslims to break their fast.
It is Malaysia’s nation-wide, month-long, delightful Food Carnival and Extravaganza. The Ramadan Bazaars (Pasar Ramadan or Bazaar Ramadan in Malay) are different from night markets and sunday markets in the sense that these Ramadan Bazaars sell mostly food and drinks for the breaking of fast.
About RAMADAN :
The month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, and is a month where Muslims must fast (“puasa” in Malay) from sunrise till sunset.
It is a month for spiritual reflection, prayers, and essentially training the body and mind to be a good, righteous, complete and perfect Muslim.
Fasting is not only forgoing food and drink from sunrise till sunset, but also “fasting” of the mind from unhealthy thoughts, the mouth from uttering bad words, the ears from listening untrue gossips about others, and the eyes from looking at prohibited matters.
Ramadan is also a month Muslims are exhorted to cultivate the practice of giving alms and donations to the poor.
