Muslims around the world are currently celebrating the three-day Eid al-Fitr festival, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims are required to fast from dawn till sunset, not even allowed to drink water.
A few days ago, we went to the Omeriye Mosque in Nicosia and spoke to a selection of worshippers as they were about to break their fast with Iftar (the evening meal) and prayers.
We also asked them if it’s more difficult to observe Ramadan in Cyprus – where no allowance is made for the fact that they’re fasting – than it is in their native countries.
Note: the mosque also has a women’s section, however no women were present at the time of our visit.
