Iftar Table Festival Held in Tehran
Various typical Ramadan foods have been offered during Iftar table festival held in the Iranian capital city of Tehran.
Many participants from different Iranian provinces and some Muslim countries flocked to this year’s festival dubbed ‘Celestial Tables’.
The visitors became acquainted with Muslims’ Iftar table in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Azerbaijan Republic.
Iftar table has its own varieties and traditions in different Muslim countries and communities.
The participated tables at the festival were judged by two food experts based on the main criteria including the beauty and decoration of the offered dishes.
The festival has organized by Tehran Municipality Art and Cultural Organization.
In month of Ramadan, Muslims enter into a holy period of fasting during which food and drink is served daily, before sunrise and after sunset.
Muslims cease all consumption of food and drink during the hours of daylight for the entire lunar month.
Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar Islamic calendar, is the time to focus on self-reformation and prayer. It’s also a festival of giving and sharing.
Muslims believe Ramadan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, given the belief that it was in Ramadan when the first verses of the Holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The month comes to an end with the celebration day called Eid al-Fitr or the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast’.
