Gargee'an
Qarqe'an ((アラビア語:قرقيعان), sometimes spelled as Gerga'oon or Girgian) is a biannual celebration, observed primarily in Eastern Arabia (Arab states of the Persian Gulf), that takes place on the 15th night of the Islamic month of Sha'ban and on the 15th night of Ramadan. Gerga'oon is marked with children dressing in traditional attire and going door-to-door to receive sweets and nuts from neighbours, whilst also singing traditional songs. The tradition has existed for hundreds of years and deeply rooted in Gulf culture.
Although the celebration of Qarqe'an shares superficial similarities with the Halloween custom of trick-or-treating, practiced in some western countries, Qarqe'an has no connection with horror and no associated origin with Halloween.
== Etymology ==
The exact origin of the word ''Qarqe'an'' is unknown though several theories exist; One such theory states that it is derived from ''Qarqa'ah'' ((アラビア語:قرقعة)), which means ''click'' or ''snick'', the sound of iron pots carrying the sweets hitting each other while serving the sweets.〔 Another theory says that it could originate from the kids of Medina singing "Qarrat Al Ain, Qarrat Al Ain" which was changed with time to Qarqe'an.
