Ramazan or Ramadan is known to be the holy month during which all the Muslims from all over the world observe fasting from dawn to dusk. In 2020, the holy month of Ramadan began on April 23, Thursday, and is expected to conclude on May 23, Saturday. It is believed that during this month, the first verse of the holy book, Quran was revealed by God and therefore this month has a special place in the heart of devotees.
If we consider the Islamic Beliefs, it is said that people who observe fasting during the month of Ramadan with complete faith and good intentions, their past sins will be forgiven by God and they will be blessed with good health and wealth.
The regular habit of fasting during Ramadan is followed to practice self-discipline, introspection of one’s own deeds and to attain spirituality through purification of body and the mind altogether. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam according to the holy book, Quran and other four pillars includes daily prayers, declaration of faith, going for Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca and doing charity.
The fasting on a regular basis begins just before the dawn, when devotees eat “Suhoor” which is a light meal. Also during the month of Ramadan, muslims have to perform the ritual of 5 daily prayers called as Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (night). ‘The meal that the devotees take after sunset in the evening is called “Iftar”.
This month of Ramadan brings a lot of peace and happiness to the lives of people as they can celebrate this together with the people they love and get a chance to celebrate Iftar party. During this party, not only everyone enjoys good food but also cherish the good times together and creates happy memories to keep intact forever.
But during this outbreak of COVID-19, people are advised to avoid large gatherings to keep themselves and their family safe and sound.
We wish you all a very Happy and prosperous Ramadan on behalf of the entire team of Royal Pepper Banquets.
