What does your community do thats unique and different from other muslim communities during ramadan?

I live near the MCA in the Bayarea in California. Every year during the last 15 days, the shaikh who does taraweeh also does Qiyam during the night and recites the whole Qur'an during the last 15 days.

All the lights are off in the masjid except for a few isolated ones so it's easy to concentrate on Salah. He takes about a Half an hour to do two Rakahs and 8 rakahs in total per day. All the old people there are used to it, and us young uns need to take breaks every couple of rakahs to rest our feet

The shaikh ends leaving about half an hour for Sahoor, which about 60 people attend. Sahoor usually has tastier food than our community Iftars hehe

well...i donno about community, but my family, personally, gets a LOT of rooh afza and fruits and stuff and give it to our neighbors

I live in Saudi Arabia, so there's gotta be SOMETHING.

Unfortunately, I can say in utmost sincerity, I have never stepped foot in a mosque besides the big un' in Makkah.

So I have no idea what happens in there and though I've asked my dad to take me, he never does.

Then again, I've heard about women being raped near Saudi mosques and nobody doing anything about it, so now I don't even care to go.

But, you know, I had this naive thought that Saudi boys would act a little more respectful to the houses of Allah rather than attack his slaves?

Asalaam Alaikum

If I were one of your Mahrams, I would kick ass and take names of all of those punks so you could go to the Mosque with peace.
