All over the world Muslims have begun their holiest month of the year by fasting from dawn until dusk each day, broken each evening by large, communal meals. The start of Ramadan is earlier each year because it is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which begins the Muslim lunar month. Muslims use the time to reevaluate their lives through the scope of Islamic doctrine. -- Lloyd Young (41 photos total)

They did not get time to park their cars on the side, never mind their shoes!

I think it's an emergency jama'at situation with a few people starting and other people driving joining in.

Having a load of shoes/slippers on the side on road like that may make it difficult to find also, so simply convenience I'd say.
