In the month of Ramadan, people abstain from eating food and water throughout the day and break their fast with evening prayers and iftari. It is said that the ritual of fasting helps people to connect and sympathize with the less fortunate and restore faith in Allah’s blessings. This year Ramadan is starting from 2nd April 2022.
