There are a handful of plausible origin stories for the recently restored cannon. One has it that the tradition of a Ramadan cannon dates back to the era of Mamluk Sultan Khushqadam who, while testing out his new cannon, unintentionally fired it at the same time as the call to maghrib prayers. Ramadan observers took it as a signal that the Sultan was reminding them about Iftar and went on to thank him afterwards. Pleased with the feedback, the Sultan got a little trigger happy and began firing off the cannon every sunset, leading to a new tradition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, when do we eat? <\/strong>Iftar tonight is at 6:21pm CLT.
