Moreh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moreh is a term for the tradition of the Malay and Muslim community in Malaysia during the month of Ramadan.[1] It involves the preparation and sharing of light snacks such as cakes at the mosque, surau, or home, after completing the Tarawih prayer.[2][3] In keeping with the times, moreh is not only held at the mosque or surau, but also in other places where people can gather and eat.[4] Previously, food would be brought from home to be shared with the congregation. However, now, it is usually prepared by individuals or groups of people in the community.[5] Some restaurants[6] and bazaar also start offering moreh.[7] This tradition has also spread to the Muslim community in Singapore.[8]
