I am so thankful for a group of recipes dedicated to Ramadan! When I go to the masjid, there are always all types of great dishes from different countries and I would love to be able to try to recreate them.

I agree with Lori (above)! I am a convert to Islam and it is so nice to be able to add some international recipes to my American cooking during this special and blessed month. Let's just remember that Ramadan isn't about food -- it's about focusing on food less so we can remember God :)

I grew up in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 10 years from age 3 to 13 almost 14. I remember everyone saying that they could not eat from sunrise to sunset. I do not understand all these pre-dawn recipes???

RALWATTAR

I visit this website everyday and I was *so* excited to see Ramadan included! To PDK, we eat "breakfast" before the start of sunrise, hence the "predawn" recipes.

Although I am not of the Islamic faith, I was delighted to see that allrecipes published Ramadan recipes simply because I wanted to try them for myself. I already made the basboosa and loved it.

hinazee

Aug. 23, 2009 1:57 am

When I was a child, we just accepted without question that Ramadan was never going to be a part of the greater culture. It seemed that no one knew about it at all and Muslims were on their own to celebrate. The fact that Allrecipes made the effort to include Muslims by posting recipes for their favorite holiday is a huuuuuge step and very much appreciated! May everyone's fasts and prayers be accepted during this blessed month and may we always remember those less fortunate than us. Amen.

oh my. i have goose bumps! this is the only site that actually acknowledges ramadan! I would have never thought to find something dedicated to ramadan on this site. I'm an addict of this site, and now LOVE it even more! I've been asking people for years to teach me how to cook, but the asking stopped when i found this site! everything I know is from here.

I agree, it is so great that there is a collection for Ramadan now. If anyone has been looking, I JUST posted a recipe for Beghrir (Moroccan Pancakes)... I wanted it to be in this collection, but I think it can't be part of one unless it has some reviews? Maybe next year. :(

Thank you for making my favorite web site even better. Including people from all different backgrounds and faiths and celebrating our similarities (we all seem to love food!) and learning about our differences can only be a good thing in a world that desperately needs more understanding. Thank you for building this bridge!

As a person of faith I find this a particularly important time to stand in solidarity with my Muslim brothers and sisters in honor of the Creator whom we all serve. As a Southerner, the best way I know to do that is with food! :-) A joyous Eid al-Fitr to all--I'll be eating well with you!

I am pleasantly surprised and so happy to see this- a section for Ramadan! Thank you for acknowledging your Muslim readers as well. All Recipes has already let me learn so much about cooking in other cultures. :) Several dishes from Pakistan and India could also be mentioned here... like Pakoras, and Dahi Baray etc.. so many cultures come under Ramazan!

I join all the other commenters and say, "This is great!" I'm not Muslim, I am a Baha'i. However, we also have a fasting period that lasts from sunrise to sunset. Ours is March 2-20 every year. So I plan to bookmark this link (and hope the link is still available in March) and add these to my list of recipes. Maybe you can even repeat these and other recipes for the Baha'i Fast in March. Great job ALLRECIPES.

I am not Muslim but my cousins are, and growing up I would often celebrate Ramadan with them, and I always looked forward to the food! I was always afraid to try to recreate the Egyptian foods, (the often over simplify recipes) but now I think I can do it! Thank you so much!
