The holy month of Ramzan or Ramadan has begun. It is of great significance for the Islamic community across the world. Ramzan, which lasts a whole moon cycle, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
Muslims in India and across the world have started preparing for how they should go about praying and fasting while maintaining social distancing due to the COVID-19 threat.
‘Roza’ is a holy fast kept from sunrise till sunset by people practicing Islam. They eat a meal early in the morning called ‘Sehri’ and conclude their fast with ‘Iftar’, an evening meal.
