Ramadan in Saudi Arabia: Fusion of Cultures and Spirituality
During Ramadan, Arab and Muslim communities in Saudi Arabia immerse themselves in a unique spiritual ambiance, blending their native traditions with local Saudi customs. The holy month is marked by daily acts of worship, such as Quran recitation and taraweeh prayers, as well as communal iftar meals and the preparation of traditional Ramadan dishes.
Dr. Suliman Yousuf Khater, a Sudanese associate professor at Qassim University, shared his insights with the Saudi Press Agency, describing Ramadan in the Kingdom as a deeply spiritual experience. He emphasized the ease of observing Ramadan in Saudi Arabia, where essential needs are readily met.
Dr. Khater also noted the vibrant social life during the month, characterized by family gatherings and shared meals. 'After 14 years in Qassim, I've found that many Ramadan traditions here closely resemble those in Sudan,' he remarked.
Similarly, Mohamed Houcine Dhaou, a Tunisian professor at Qassim University, reflected on the spiritual essence of Ramadan, highlighting its role in inspiring repentance and renewed faith. Having lived in the Kingdom for a decade, he spoke of the profound spiritual connection he feels, particularly during visits to Makkah and Madinah. He described the 'unique charm' of Ramadan's daily life, with streets adorned in festive decorations and communities coming together for iftar and suhoor gatherings.
This harmonious blend of cultural traditions and spiritual practices makes Ramadan in Saudi Arabia a truly enriching experience for Muslims from diverse backgrounds.
