Eid Mubarak (Happy Ramadan) To All Our Muslim Friends




We want to sincerely wish all our Muslim friends a Happy Ramadan.

The image here is that of Nasreddin Hodja (Hoca) who is a fictional variation of a supposed real Sufi Muslim philosopher/wise man with a flair for comedy and irony who lived near Konya, Turkey.

While The Hodja is a beloved fable character in Turkey and the Middle East, there are also regional variations of the figure in other parts of the Muslim world.

One of the more unique is perhaps Nasriddin Afandi in Uzbekistan.
