Unique Ramadan Traditions From Across the World

The Nights Are Long in Malaysia

A lot of people go to Malaysia for the tropical scenery and sunny weather, but this can be hard for Muslims during Ramadan. This is because Malaysia usually gets 13 to 14 hours of sunlight a day, which makes their fasting period longer than usual. However, Muslims in Malaysia get to break their fast with a special dish that you can only find in this country: bubur lambuk, which is a savory meat porridge.

Another Ramadan practice is to invite family and friends to special meals. Everyone will pray and eat dates, sugar cane juice, soybeans, and a lot of other things during these meals.
