Feasts of Faith

The Morning Standard

|

March 27, 2025

As the month of Ramzan unfolds, it brings with it not only a period of fasting and spiritual reflection but also a deep cultural significance, particularly through the role that food plays in the lives of many individuals and communities.

Feasts of Faith

Ramzan, one of the most prominent religious observances in India, extends beyond the practice of abstinence to become a month-long celebration of faith, perseverance, and the profound connection between food and communal identity.

The greeting "Ramzan Mubarak," exchanged at the beginning of the month, encapsulates the sense of joy and festivity that accompanies this time, despite its religious context. Some might question why such a greeting is used when Ramzan is not a traditional festival in the typical sense. However, for many, the month takes on the characteristics of a festival, as it is not only about individual acts of devotion but also about collective experiences of communal bonding and shared rituals of fasting and feasting. The festival-like atmosphere is woven into the practices of Ramzan, where the act of breaking the fast becomes an occasion of both spiritual significance and cultural expression.

The role of food during Ramzan is multifaceted. It goes beyond nourishment and becomes a celebration of heritage and tradition, offering an opportunity to experience a profound sense of unity. As the Persian poet Rumi once said, "Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray." This reflects how food in Ramzan connects people to their roots and to one another.

While fasting is a spiritual act of devotion, breaking the fast through food offers a tangible expression of unity and cultural heritage, celebrating the resilience of faith and community.
