The meaning of tung tung sahur
'Tung Tung Sahur' is a traditional custom unique to Indonesia during the month of Ramadan, in which 'Tung Tung' is a onomatopoeic word that imitates the sound of hitting drums, wooden clappers, or metal vessels to remind Muslims to wake up and eat the fast (Sahur).
Sahur "comes from the Arabic word" سحور ", which means the fasting meal before the morning prayer in the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Background of tung tung sahur
This tradition combines religious customs and community spirit of mutual assistance, becoming an important symbol of Indonesian Ramadan culture.
In the era before the widespread use of electricity, villages or communities in Indonesia relied on human labor to transmit information. During Ramadan, Muslims are required to complete their fasting meal before sunrise. However, due to the early morning hours, some people may miss the alarm clock. Therefore, volunteers (usually teenagers) will patrol the streets, create noise, and go door-to-door to awaken residents.
