The Generosity of Ottoman Officials in Ramadan:
During the month of Ramadan, the Ottoman Sultan and his officials personally sacrificed and then distributed the meat among the poor.
Ottoman officials often opened their doors to the public in this month as a sign of hospitality and generosity, and they were especially kind to those under their authority.
Melek Ahmed Pasha (Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, 1650-51) is an example of this: every Monday and Friday during Ramadan, the doors of his house were left open for everyone to come and enjoy the food.
