I was doing my daily morning sweep of the news and came across a series of absolutely beautiful Ramadan photos. Simply stunning. I wanted to show them to Hawk, but I figured you guys would appreciate these as well. Please take a look! They made my morning.

Thank you for these gorgeous photographs!
The photos where amazing! Although I hate you for making me hungry now, lol
The first picture is by far the best one, they could have saved it for later. :p
But yeah, stunning.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. It’s interesting to see different cultures and religions and was a beautiful introduction for me into a culture I know very little about. Thank you again ~
I have the sudden urge to plunder a bakery ;)
Awesome photos btw.
Too right, mate!
That food looks so delicious.
Photo number six is absolutely stunning. Definitely bookmarking that page :)
Thank you so much for these images. I am a little isolated from the large Muslim populations right now so Ramadan hasn’t been what it usually is for me. These photos really help me remember the warm and fuzzies.
:)
Thanks Ananth, interesting to see some of this, living in Australia has kept me cut off from a lot of…. well everything not christian, and its interesting to see the Muslim world. Thank you.
oh and I really love pictures 24, 33. just brilliantly framed shots.
These are beautiful! I didn’t know much about Islamic tradition until my trip to Bahrain in April, and then meeting you guys in May. Even from a photographic point of view, these photos are visually stunning and very well-composed.. simply amazing.
Even though im not a muslim and hate large crowds someday id like to see some of these massive events in person. The pictures are amazing as they are, i cant imagine what it would be like in person. out of my three favorite cultures in the world, arab is one of them.
Sweet meats?? Sounds good to me..
These pictures were beautiful and shows a fresh insight to this tradition. I love how it connects, people, faith, food, and culture. Thanks for the link!
These were really gorgeous, thank you for sharing them. =)
Beautiful and so cute. I love the pictures of the children. Especially the last one with the little boy passed out. Thanks for sharing Ananth. Ramadan Mubarak!
Ah those pictures are amazing! My family is all Muslim and I’ve always liked Ramadan, because it’s like a coming together of everyone,the unity is nice.
Oh Eid is soon. Yay (:
Thanks for sharing. I always appreciate learning about other cultures and religions, and this was a beautiful view of the traditions. I didn’t realize just how widespread Islam is (i.e., Thailand). It was really interesting to see the observation spread throughout different countries.
Those are indeed besutiful. I’m a united staes marine, I studied the culture and language for a year, and I won’t pretend to understand it all, but it is definitely outstading to see these, without hatred or profiling or war propaganda.
These pictures are gorgeous, thajk you for sharing them! And the foodie in me got curious about the food shown in picture 17 and 32 - anyone knows what’re they called?
well in 17 it says sweet meat, so if thats to be true i would say some sort of lamb thats been glazed in a sweet sauce. in 32 the caption talks about sweets, to me it looks like colors and prolly flavored candied sugar. if u take enough sugar and mix in water, boil it and let it cool u can make a simple rock candy, but if u pull it and shape it while its cooling u can make a ton of pretty things.
Fantastic post. To quote Nick: “it is definitely outstading to see these, without hatred or profiling or war propaganda.” I agree immensely. Breath of fresh air given the media nowadays.
Those were very nice. #13 made me think of you though. Anyone else see any resemblence?
Wonderful, just wonderful, I’m always amazed at the work Applegeeks does in promoting the respect of world faiths. There needs to be an award fot this sort of thing….
Seeing those pictures was a nice way to sum up this fasting month for me. Ramadan kareem to all of you and thanks for the link.
