In the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan or Ramzan, Muslims throughout the world observe a severe fast called Roza from dawn to sunset while also praying. Muslims have the belief that fasting deepens their faith and fosters a closer relationship with Allah.
The moon’s position plays a key role in determining when this holy month begins and ends. Ramadan is anticipated to start on March 22 or 23 and finish on April 21 or 22, the day of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr are both observed in Middle Eastern countries according to local custom, one day earlier than in most other nations due to moon sighting.
Beginning of Ramadan: March 22, Wednesday
Ramadan ends on Friday, April 21.
Laylat al-Qadr: Monday, April 17,
Eid al-Fitr Commences: Saturday, April 22,
Throughout a period of 30 days, Iftar and Sehr times may vary by 4 and 7 minutes, respectively.
The first verses of the Holy Quran were given to Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century, which is when Ramadan initially began. On the 27th night, or “Laylatul Qadr,” which is regarded as the holiest of all nights, the Quran was first revealed.
Muslims must adhere to the teachings of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad by upholding brotherhood and abstaining from acts of hostility, enmity, greed, desire, and slander. Moreover, it is imperative to abstain from all worldly pleasures and sins throughout the holy month of Ramadan. The month is seen as significant for fostering spiritual development and introspection. They must also engage in charitable giving. They should perform “Zakat,” or almsgiving, which is required in addition to fasting.
