Moreh

Moreh is a term for the tradition of the Malay and Muslim community in Malaysia during the month of Ramadan. It involves the preparation and sharing of light snacks such as cakes at the mosque, surau, or home, after completing the Tarawih prayer. 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. 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. Some restaurants and bazaar also start offering moreh. This tradition has also spread to the Muslim community in Singapore.

In popular culture

  • Malaysian pop group, Monoloque, created a song about this tradition in 2014.
