The tradition of fasting in the month of
Ramadan in Bandung
Ramadhan is an Islamic name for the fasting
month which takes place once a year. It is a
month that is eagerly awaited by many Moslem
believers, including Indonesian citizens of
which over 80% of are Muslim. Ramadhan is
valued much higher than any other month
because it is a month when Allah erases all sins
of Muslims who try hard to repent in this
special month. It means that all Muslims
should fast the whole month and resist not only
the need to eat and drink, but most important is
the control of desire and anger. Ramadhan is
special not just because it is a month when the
gate of heaven is open wide, but also because
Ramadhan contains two special days: Nuzulul
Quran and Lailatul Qadar. Nuzulul Quran falls
on the 17th night of Ramadhan. It is a night
when the holy Quran was first granted to the
great prophet Muhammad. Lailatul Qadar is a
night of Ramadhan that is worth more than a
thousand ordinary months. It is a night when
all prayers will have great opportunity to be
granted by Allah.

often go out before dusk with friends or family
to welcome the moment of buka puasa, which
means breaking the fast. They call
it ngabuburit. Kids, teenagers, and even adults
do ngabuburit also in the mesjid (mosque)
