As many people know, the Acehnese, who are synonymous with Islam, carry out the mandatory fasting worship this year. And there have been many stories that have happened since the time of Aceh, still in the corridors of the kingdom in ancient times.

In each village there is one surau which functions as a multi-purpose building and will be converted during the month of fasting (Ramadan) into a place to multiply alms which are believed to be accepted by God.

One of the charities that has become a custom and culture of the Acehnese people during the fasting month is sharing food when breaking the fast. Various types of menus have been served by the community to travelers who pass through the village during iftar hours or other poor people in serving them to break their fast together there.
