Ramzan Traditions

What are some ramzan](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=ramzan) / ramadan](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=ramadan) traditions](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=traditions) that you guys do in your family](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=family) , or something very peculiar to your family that you haven’t seen anyone else do?

Is there something specific your family has to have for #sehri](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=sehri) ? Do you send iftar](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=iftar) to your neighbors every weekend?

The only thing that I’ve seen my family do for sure is to have something chat-patta at iftar. My dad feels an iftar isn’t an iftar if there isn’t any fruit chaat/dahi bhallay/channa chaat etc available. Oh and the paratha](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=paratha) size increases by 25% in ramzan, which the kids have to finish, even if they don’t want to :vivo:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Fruit chaat is awesome as is channa chaat :)The way i see it no such thing as having too big a paratha especially if it’s stuffed paratha.
Actually forget paratha ..roti+nutella is something im intrigued by.
Nutella roti sandwich with banana

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Pakoray :wub:

My Ammi used to always play Surah Rehman with the Urdu tarjuma while we had sehri. It always gave me such a sense of calm and serenity. To this day this verse always reminds me of Ramadan.

Re: Ramzan Traditions

We give iftaar and dinner to 2-3 people every day. Needy/poor people without family, who live in the vicinity. And we send iftaaris to our neighbours every weekend.

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Surah Rehman gives me goose bumps.

Re: Ramzan Traditions

roti + nutella sounds horrible. roti + crepes/french toast/pancakes/cakes sounds ok. basically anything with maida in it, not chakki ka aata

which one’s your favorite? I really really like aloo ka pakora and palak. yum!

that sounds lovely. do you do that in your household as well?

that’s amazing. so much ajr you guys must be reaping every year
:hinna:

do you also do the over the deeward-plate-of-iftari? :cb: when in pakistan the aunty next door used to do that. obviously i carried it in. it was always such a tiny plate too :vivo: like lady you know we have 4 people in ourh ouse…would it give you to give 1 more pakora :snooty:

do you know the meanings of the surah? is that why it gives you the goose bumps? :eek:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Who has a cassette player or stereo system anymore :rotfl:

I guess I could play it through my iphone on the dock station :hmmm:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

doodh-jalebii in seHrii…i used to sock jalebiis in milk for a good 1 hour…it was so yum. i wish i could have them now. :frowning:

i LOVED these three things in Iftaarii. :slight_smile:

  1. gulgule
  2. sulsule
  3. jhuljhule

yummy! :slight_smile:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

:nahi:

want me to google a link for the surah for you? :@:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

I play it with translation.

Re: Ramzan Traditions

There is actually MP3 CD’s that people give out at masjids. Specially in Ramzaan. #Ramzaan2014](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=Ramzaan2014)

Re: Ramzan Traditions

see that’s why you get the chills!

my parents tried the whole playing the Quran in the car instead of music. Sadly (?) shaitaan had gotten such a good hold on us siblings that we TOTALLY rebelled against it constantly. then again, my parents were trying to emulate the community we were living in. those people didn’t even have a TV! :hayaa:

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Yep. Same here. Cant do it in the car. I have naats and hamds from the old PTV days that I play in the car. I need something that I can do as well. So I play and read (right word?) naats in the car.

Re: Ramzan Traditions

Oh man those naats with the weird echo thing they did along with it? i think i memorized a couple of the naats from PTV because they just repeated them constantly, especially in ramzan.

do you remember that learn quran show that PTV used to play at around 4 or 5 pm. let me see if i can youtube it.

edit: OMG the flashbacks!!! :rotfl: repeating “AZOBILLAH” slowly and loudly behind the kids. omg!

Re: Ramzan Traditions

All thanks to my mom.

we do the who tray thing. No over the deewaar iftaari though :hehe:

Usually its pakoray, samosay/jalebi, dahi baray, khajoors, chana chaat , pulao/some sort of rice and some meetha.

Yes I end up dead after maghrib :confused:
