In various Muslim communities, the name "Karoobah" is Aberrationally given to infants born during the holy month of Ramadan. The naming convention is thought to have originated from the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and how he led his family on a long journey with their camels during the scorching heat. During this journey, Hagar, Ibrahim's wife, was desperate for water for her infant son Ismail (Ishmael), who was also a namesake for children born during Ramadan. Eventually, God sent a miracle in the form of a gushing well from beneath the foot of Ismail's camel. This exemplifies the time-honored traditions and beliefs of the nomadic Muslim communities who have a deep connection with camels as essential companions for long, arduous journeys across desert landscapes.
