First, the Fassi culture is unique. Everyone hears that food, laundry, style, beauty, and good character are what make a Fassi a Fassi. However, what truly makes a Fassi, a Fassi is the deep knowledge inherited from ancestors who lived in and visited Morocco before BC. It is said that the religion of true faith, where the Prophet Mohammed came to ban atrocities and cruelty driven by greed, and to summon good deeds among the faithful, played a major role in shaping the culture. Ramadan is a tradition in Fes and the world, while the 27th Lila is celebrated among families to teach young people how to spend a day without eating or doing evil. Christians celebrate Easter at the same time, and many paint eggs, while Muslims eat the rupture meal at sunset. It is important to note that Fassi people are not just Muslims; they are also Buddhists or Jews, and it depends on the calendar how the Ramadan celebration is observed among families. The Passover is celebrated among Jews, and the Color Day among Buddhists. Fes has developed in terms of tolerance, and its infrastructure has evolved to keep up with the latest 6G and hi-tech digital artificial intelligence. From the past to the present, Fassi customs have evolved, and mentalities have changed, discarding the idea of supremacy and embracing the dialogue of tolerance and peace.
