People are generous and in Ramadan many will give out of pity without even con- sidering the true nature of the beggars. Not all of them are even women! Sometimes men use the abaya as a disguise to sit and beg. I know some of you may think this is an exaggera- tion but the truth of the matter is that some people have taken to begging as a profession and what bet- ter time than Ramadan to practice their business? Those female beggars enter the country with a visit visa and use this permit to collect as much money as they can until their time is over or they get arrested by the police and sent back home. What they do is illegal and dangerous. It is impossible to find out who’s who from their eyes ... beside you would not even know if this person even has a bomb hidden within the folds of their gown. Isn’t that what happened recently in Saudi Arabia when a suicide bomber disguised as a woman in black entered a mosque? The bomb went off leav- ing behind many dead and injured!!! Due to the current security situation in the region everyone must be very careful dealing with such peo- ple because you would not be able to identify them. The Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Social Affairs is cracking down on begging in Kuwait. The sponsor who helped the beggar obtain a visit visa will also be held accountable, whether the sponsor was a person or a company or a hotel. So if anyone finds themselves accosted by beggars, be careful and call the police and they will know what to do. Photograph from the book, Faces of Kuwait by Jack Wozniak, Cronion, Spain 1981.

  • Middle Eastern Festivals Islamic
    Middle Eastern Festivals Islamic: Moulid el-Nabi, Milad, Milad an-Nabi, or Mawlid un-Nabi (The Prophet’s Birthday) Prophet Muhammad (also Mohammed, Muhammed, Mahomet, and other variants) is the founder of Islam and is regarded by Muslims as the last messenger and prophet of God. Muhammad was born in the year 570 AD and his birthday is celebrated each year on 12 Rabi el-Awal, following the Islamic calendar. Processions are held, homes or mosques are decorated, charity and food is distributed, stories about the life of Muhammad are narrated, and poems are recited by children. The main purpose of Moulid el-Nabi gatherings is to remember, observe, discuss and celebrate the advent of the birth and teachings of the holy Prophet Muhammad. Ramadan Ramadan is a celebration that takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Quran (the central religious text of Islam) was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The name of the feast is the name of the month. Muslims celebrate Ramadan for an entire month. It is a time for prayers (some people pray 5 times a day), friendship, and thinking about how to help others. Many people fast during the hours of daylight for the entire month. Before the sun rises, families gather to eat a big breakfast. This breakfast before dawn is called Suhoor (also called Sehri, Sahari and Sahur in other languages). Each family member then fasts until the sun sets in the evening. After the sun sets, they have a big supper. This evening meal for breaking the daily fast is called Iftar and is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together.
