In Yemen, Iftah celebrations are hugely important. These events see friends and family come together to celebrate breaking the fast, and they make sure to cook up the best Iftah meals in the world. However, they believe that these events should be a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. Because of this, many Muslims in Yemen choose to paint their houses and decorate their tables for the occasion.
Alongside this, they also choose to buy new utensils during this time. This allows them to start afresh and really make the most of this holy month and the feasts that come with it.
