Hundreds of Syrians filled the mosque in the Omayyads in Damascus to make the first Taravikh -Namaz (Arab. -Top, rest, respite).
Believers were able to pray in connection with the onset of the Holy month of the month of Ramadan for the first time after the overthrow of the Baas regime in Syria. On the eve of Ramazan, repair work was carried out in one of the most sacred places in the Syrian capital.
In an interview with an anadola correspondent, Ragad Faysal, a teacher at the pharmaceutical department of the Damasian University, said that the Syrians are very happy to meet Ramazan without the BAAS mode.
According to Faysala, he came to the Mosque of Omayyadov for the first time in many years.
“Our house is not far from here. (Before) every time we passed by, we could not enter the mosque because of fear. Today, after the mosque became ours, we decided to come. Praise of the Almighty, we were saved from the atrocities,” the Syrian said.
Faysal indicated that before the mosque did not belong to ordinary Syrians. “When we passed the mosque, there were people inside who were not like us,” he said.
“The first ramazan, when we felt that every inch of the Earth belongs to us”
Meanwhile, Bach Kurdosh, a resident of East Guta, said that this is the first Ramazan without (Bashar) Assad. “This is the first ramazan when we felt that the country belongs to us, that every he span of land is our best feeling and cannot be,” said the Syrian.

Kurdosh noted that the joy of Ramazan is also felt among the people.
“Everyone is happy and experience joy. We have become even happier,” he said.
Remembering Ramazan during the Baas regime, Kurdosh said that he was in a negative.
“Praise to the Almighty, that these days were already behind. Those days were unhappy and gloomy. We suffered from need and poverty,” he said.
Dr. Rava Akasha also spoke about his joyful emotions.
“We used to perform Taravikh – a prayer at home. But now we are happy, proud, our mosque. Damascus has completely changed,” he said.
