While different stories are told about the origins of fawanees

Some Ramadan traditions have faded, while some are still observed today. The Ramadan cannon was, and in some places still is, a widespread tradition across the Middle East. Cannon shots announce the end of the fast at sunset in such countries as Egypt, Qatar. Bahrain, Yemen, Sudan, Syria and Turkey. The cannon used at Ramadan isn’t a real weapon, its only function to make an echoing noise to indicate that it is time to break the fast.

The roots of this tradition can be traced back to the Fatimid era (909-1171). In the days of the Prophet Muhammad, the adhan (call for prayer) was the main way Muslims knew when to break their fasts. Over time, hearing the adhan became impossible for some far-flung Muslims, and the tradition of firing a cannon began. The tradition is fading now as technology has changed, with cannons being replaced in some places by sound bombs.

The holy month of Ramadan: Even non-Muslims can’t imagine Ramadan independently of food culture. While Muslims refrain from eating during the day in Ramadan, the fast turns to a feast at night in many Muslim countries, each of which has its special Ramadan recipes.
