**Ramadan in Turkey:**
With happiness, the Turkish people welcome Ramadan. In fact, this great people still proving steadfastness and love for this great religion that encompasses all aspects of life.
Taraweeh, reciting the Holy Qur'an and making Religious Book Fair in the Olo Jami`(Turkey's Greatest Mosque) in Ankara and Sultan Ahmad Mosque in Istanbul are among the signs of welcoming the month.
After Traweeh is finished, candy is distributed to children who participated in prayer as a way of encouraging them to repeat the deed.
In ordinary days, the local radio and TV known as TRT1-TV broadcasts a religious program of a quarter of an hour. In Ramadan, two religious programs are broadcast before Iftar and Suhoor in addition to many TV serials in various times of the day as a way of celebrating the blessed
**Ramadan in Burma:**
The Muslims of Burma welcome the blessed month of Ramadan with esteem, joy and happiness. The sighting of the crescent is a great thing, as all of them go to high places to see the crescent for themselves. In the month of Ramadan, people gather in the mosque to recite the Qur’an in the day and for Tarawih and Tahajud (late night) Prayers in the night. Most people in Burma also do ‘I`tikaf (seclusion in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan).
In the nights of Ramadan, the markets and shops are closed because everybody is busy with their worship. In Burma, people sleep immediately after Tarawih Prayer and do not stay awake until Fajr time. After the Fajr Prayer they set forth to their work.
Muslims first break their fast with dates and water. And they break it in a marvelous way such as reading poems of different kinds. Their foods are many. Local foods include lury fera, a special dish of bread, rice and chicken.
**Ramadan in The Comoros Islands:**
The Comoros are found off the east coast of Africa, between Mozambique and Madagascar.
On the coast of the Islands, the Muslims keep awake till the morning time. The Muslims of the Comoros rejoice to welcome the blessed month of Ramadan from the beginning of the month of Sha`ban. In Ramadan, they decorate the mosques with lamps and gather there to perform prayer and recite the Glorious Qur’an. Also, they give out charity and increase their good deeds.
On the first night of Ramadan, people go out of their houses to the coast with their lamps in their hands. The rays of their lit lamps reflect on the sea, and they beat their drums to announce the arrival of Ramadan and remain there until midnight.
Among the well-known foods of the Comoros are soup, meat, mango, and so on. The people drink the juice of pineapple and other fruits.
**The Crescent Never Appears in Afghanistan:**
In Afganistan, the people begin to fast as soon as the crescent moon is sighted in any of the Islamic countries because the topography makes it difficult to see the crescent there.
To prepare for the month, people start to buy food stuffs and they customarily break their fast together. In public places and mosques different entertainments are organized and people observe their religious duties and struggle to finish reading the Glorious Qur’an in the month of Ramadan. Scholars organize conferences and sessions to explain the meaning of the Qur’an, especially after the Tarawih Prayer.
The most well-known foods are rice, meat, and milk and pomegranate is a favorite drink after the meal. Farm work decreases during Ramadan, but work continues in the factories and companies but with decreased hours during Ramadan.
