Islamabad, May 07 (TNS): During the holy month, Muslims fast each day abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk. The Ramazan fast begins with a pre-dawn meal called “Sehri” and at sunset, when it’s time to mark the end of the daylong fast, families and friends gather for an evening meal known as “iftar.”<\/p>\n
Fasting is aimed at drawing worshippers closer to Almighty Allah through self-control, remembrance and humility.<\/p>\n
The challenge of fasting for many is also an opportunity to reset themselves spiritually and physically and get rid of bad habits and purify the heart.<\/p>\n
During the day, it is also mandatory for Muslims to abstain from gossip and cursing and are encouraged to focus on meditative acts like prayer, reading the Quran and charity.<\/p>\n
The Tarawih Salah will also begin from tonight and arrangements have been made at all small and big mosques across the country for faithfuls.<\/p>\n
During the Tarawih Salah, Qaris recite holy Quran which mesmerizes the faithfuls.<\/p>\n
