Ramadan comes to a close with Eid-ul-Fitr, a fast-breaking feast. Muslims are required to say a specific prayer on this day, primarily in congregation, in an open field or a mosque’s prayer hall.

Dressing up in new clothing, visiting loved ones, exchanging gifts, and engaging in joyful feasts follow the prayers during Ramadan.

How Is Ramadan Celebrated In Pakistan

The intention behind Ramadan fasting is to seek rewards from Allah.The Muslims in Pakistan follow these guidelines during the devoted month of fasting.

1. The month of Ramadan is defined by fasting. All adult Muslims are required to fast from sunrise to sunset and adhere to certain rites and restrictions. However, Allah has spared sick persons and travellers from fasting during Ramadan in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:185). Elderly, children, pregnant, breastfeeding, and menstruation women, according to several scholars, are likewise exempt.

2. People in Pakistan avoid doing the following during the month of Ramadan. The following actions lead to invalidation of the fast.

  • Using the nose or ears to take medicine
  • Vomiting on purpose
  • Smoking or Drinking
  • Eating before Suhoor
  • Eating after Iftar

3. Muslims pray five times a day at specified intervals during Ramadan ideally in community. With the goal of seeking Allah’s blessings, the prayers must be offered in an open location or a mosque’s prayer hall. There are specific prayers for various purposes and rewards, such as forgiveness, fasting, and prayers performed in God’s remembrance.

3. During Ramadan, some Muslims pray extra prayers at night. Every night during Tarawih, a Hafiz (a person who has memorised the Holy Quran) recites passages of the Quran while the audience listens. The Quran is recited in its entirety before the end of Ramadan.

4. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims are required to recite the Holy Quran. There is, however, no requirement to recite the entire Quran. One could just recite at least one Juz, which is one of the 30 portions of the Quran divided into each day.

5. Ramadan customs include worship, also known as ibadat. Itikaf is the practice of staying at a mosque for a set amount of time and dedicating that time to prayer. It entails avoiding all worldly pleasures and focusing solely on religious observances. Itikaf usually begins after the dawn of Ramadan’s 20th day and ends with the sighting of the Eid moon.

6. Zakat is a key pillar of Islam and a religious requirement. Every Muslim is required to give a percentage of their earnings or fortune to charity. It is thought that paying Zakat cleanses earnings above and beyond what is required. During Ramadan, Muslims practise different forms of charity, including monetary donations, aiding the poor, feeding the hungry, and so on.

7. The small pilgrimage of Umrah has tremendous religious significance, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. In fact, conducting Umrah during Ramadan is regarded as similar to Hajj in terms of reward, according to Tirmidhi: 939.
