Ramadan symbols
1-The Ramadan lamp:**Long ago beofre the electricy was invented,people used to go to bed right after the Taraweeh prayers,which usually ends around 9-10 depending on the time sun sets....Then late at night there`s a person called (Mosaharati) which he has a task to wake all the neighbours up for Sahoor(this was long before my time)and I think he was either payed by the government or by people of the comunity.He used to have a drum wrapped around his waist and a lamp so he`ll be able to see his way....he drums and start to call each family by their names....Or he says"oh sleeping one wake up and answer your lord"..in Arabic it`s {Ya Nayim Wahid Addayim}.by this,the lamp got to be one of Ramadan`s symbols.*2-Ramadan Cannon:*Though this tradition still remains but it started also because there was no electricity....when the sun sets the we get to know that by hearing the calls of prayers...
