During the religious month of Ramzan, Muslims are expected to fast every day from sunrise to nightfall. Besides staying away from consuming any liquid, food,  they are even supposed to circumvent from having sinful thoughts or using filthy words, and also desist behavior that may be considered indecent. Ramzan, like all the festivals, has its share of distinctive traditions to follow. Paying off alms i.e., Zakāt, is essential during Ramzan to benefit the less fortunate.

 

 

During this month, it is expected that all adult Muslims fast during the day, except those who are suffering from any illness, nurturing mothers, pregnant ladies, and elderly. Others can keep the spirit on by donating food and clothing to the poor. The whole day is spent by doing special prayers, attending mosques and reading the entire Quran.

 

To start the day, you are supposed to bathe and then have Sehri (pre-dawn meal), which includes Milk & Dates, that will help you to sustain the entire day without food. According to the tradition, each day of the fast has to be broken at dusk by eating dates, which is followed by Iftar (feast) comprising of traditional cuisines such as, kebabs, biryani, sevai, shorba, etc. If you are a Non-Muslim, you can also be a part of the Iftar along with your friends or colleagues and enjoy a mouthwatering wholesome meal.
