The Cham Bani Those Cham who follow mainstream Islam are concentrated in south and southwestern Vietnam form their own palei (villages), each of which must have at least a sang mügik (mosque), where all activities, whether social or political, are conducted.
On the other hand, all laypeople who belong to the Cham Bani communities live freely outside the realm of orthodox Islam, for all religious responsibility rests squarely upon the acars (priests), who are responsible for safeguarding the religion from corruption and praying on the community’s behalf.
So when the acars spend time mastering the Qur’ün, they try to understand how each surah or verse is applied to a particular occasion, such as perform ing the religious duties associated with burials, weddings, prayer, and ser mons, or to master such secular knowledge as the calendar or the lunar cycle in order to determine the beginning and end of Ramadan.
The Cham Bani laypeople, on the other hand, perform none of these rit uals because they believe that their representative acar in the religious order has already fulfilled them for the community.
On the contrary, the Cham Bani sang mügik is open only dur ing Ramadan and for such important events as Friday prayers.
Unlike the Cham Islam, who go home after tarawih, the Cham Bani remain in the sang mügik during the night because it houses all the village’s acars.
On special nights called ong troon muk troon (Ramadan 27), some Cham Hindus bring fruits and sweets to the sang mügik to offer to Po Auloah and pray along with Cham Bani acars.
