In ancient times, we were taken back to the lives of our fathers and grandfathers to restore through new memories and the lines of life in Dubai, such as customs and traditions, and how they marked the sacred month in an atmosphere of spirituality, where charity, solidarity, and cooperation reigned. Musaharati or "Abu Talib" as they are called in the UAE, is one of the favorite customs for both adults and children, who restore the history of Dubai in the initiative "Furjan Dubai" for the revival of beautiful and authentic customs and the transfer of them to the new generation. The persona "Abu Talib" is closely related to the month of Ramadan, not only in the UAE but almost throughout all Arab and Islamic countries. Musaharati is a person who awakens people for the pre-dawn suhoor before the call to the morning prayer, holding in hand a small drum and repeatedly shouting various phrases, distinguishing between place to place, but generally calling on sleeping people to wake up to have suhoor in preparation for fasting, the morning prayer, and remembrance of God Almighty and the Most High. Often children wait for the musaharati, following him, repeating his famous phrases, leaning towards the rhyme.
