Ramadan words used in Turkey
(Oruç )Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam and is mandatory for all adult Muslim men and women, except the insane, infirm, sick or traveling and pregnant or feeding mothers
Sahur is the early morning or pre-fast meal eaten before the sun rises
Ramazan Davulcusu (Ramadan drummers) woke up people by walking around the neighborhoods with a big double-headed drum. They beat out variety of rhythms and sometimes may also sing a mani, a rhyming couplet. The drummers may surprise the newcomers. However they try to keep alive an old tradition from the times alarm clocks were non-existent. Just before Bayram and certainly during Bayram the drummer of your district will knock on your door for a tip.
The fast is broken with a meal, which is known as Iftar just after sunset with "evenming call to prayer".
During Ramadan, the night praying (yatsı namazı is followed by a special "namaz" called Teravih. It is a kind of ritual worshipping performed only at Ramadan nights. The Muslims try to visit different mosques to fulfill the teravih praying.
A Muslim is told to give Sadaka (charity) and Fitre (alms given in Ramadan) to the poor before going to say the Bayram prayers. Muslims recite Koran intensively during this holy month.
Ramadan is a month of brotherhood, renewal of relationships and festivity and the rigor of fasting ends with the celebration of Şeker Bayramı (Sweet Festival)

Quoting elham: Ciko
is this custom still in Turkey (a man walks around the street playing or click on a big drum at 2 am to wake people up for suhoor (morning meal)). |
We have that custom too,he called 'Mesahharati'meaning the one who is calling for Sahur.
İn the past this man used to know all people in the neighborhood,and call them by name to wake them up.
Today its still there but not as a job its just kind of Ramazan traditions you feel happy to hear it.
Sometimes people told him the name of their kids,or children of the house,and children feel happy when he call their names,thinking he is waking them up to eat Sahur,encouraging them to get ready for Fast
They love him.
He says here some tradition sentences with the banging of the drum
Bang bang bang bang 'wake up who you are sleep' bang bang bang 'wake up and admit there is only one god'
Then start to bang again calling the childern when he comes neer their house
'Wake up Muhamed,wake up Tarik...'
İts lovely 
Do you have it too Elham ?
