Medjool dates — the “big, fat, gooey ones, the really good ones” — are becoming easier to find at Costco during Ramadan, Dr Barbour said. “Alaska being so remote, we may be probably one of the last communities to get it.” “The Muslim community is kind of a microcosm of that. The community moved into the building in 2011. The Muslim community “is quite a diverse population, but then we’re all able to come together on the common grounds of our faith and traditions, the core traditions,” said Mrs Jones’ husband, Gregory Shuaib Jones, an electrician. “You’ll be getting all your prayers in between 11 am and 2 am, and that’s just not a normal lifestyle,” Mr Jones said. “This is a unique challenge here in Alaska,” Mr Gregory Jones said. This year, Ramadan falls in the spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and in Alaska that will mean fasting from 5 am to about 6:30 pm.

A month filled with introspection for Muslims across the world, Ramadan is celebrated for almost a month. People observe fasting, which is one of the main principles in Islam every day until the day Ramadan ends. A month filled with introspection for Muslims across the world, Ramadan is celebrated for almost a month.

Language, religion and culture work together to create the vocabulary of the rituals of the holy month.

In contrast with Urdu, in Malayalam, the word for the evening meal is nomb thura, literally “the opening of the fast”, which is not borrowed from Arabic or Persian. Since the iftar is a form of prayer, one might see Muslims rushing home to join their families for the evening meal. Later at night, they offer a special prayer called taraweeh, which happens only during Ramzan. This prayer is rather long and is performed in a congregation, so it is not surprising to see a large number of Muslims gathering in mosques at night. In some Bihari dialects, the word is roj-kholia meaning “something on which you break your fast”. The word combines the Persian word roza with the Indic word kholna. Fasting is called roza, which is an act of worship in which Muslims do not eat, drink and stay away from sexual intercourse during the daytime. Writers with no linguistic training have claimed without any evidence that using the “Ramadan” spelling is a sign of “Islamic radicalism” in India. Firstly, all adults observe obligatory fasting for the entire month as it is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.
