Restaurants Are Closed in Sri Lanka

One thing you might not know about Sri Lanka is that Islam is the third-largest religion in the country. And the Muslim people who follow Ramadan have their own Ramadan traditions that they like to follow. In fact, they have one tradition that makes fasting even easier for them, and that involves closing all of the restaurants and coffee shops until the sun sets and it's time for Iftar. This takes away any desire to break their fast.

Alongside this, Muslims in Sri Lanka also do everything they can to help others who aren't able to make Iftar during Ramadan. They set up temporary food stores next to mosques and give food to those in need.
