GERMANY – Ramadan Around the World

THE Muslim community in Germany, estimated at 4 million, celebrates the month of Ramadan like the majority of the Islamic world. In most German cities, there are no apparent signs of the advent of Ramadan. Often, work conditions do not allow people to eat the Iftar meal in congregation during the month of Ramadan, which makes the days in Ramadan similar to other ordinary days in this aspect.

It is difficult to determine the first day of fasting in the absence of a unified decision-making process and most Muslims prepare for Ramadan based on their cultural differences and purchase the necessary materials and foods to prepare the traditional homemade dishes, and decorate houses.
