Ramadan Mubarak: Ramzan greetings, WhatsApp messages, wishes and quotes for friends, family

Muslims across the world are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan with dawn-to-dusk fasting. The Islamic holy month of Ramadan started on the eve of April 2 and will end on the eve of May 2, 2022. In Ramadan (also spelt as Ramzan), Muslims fast from dusk to dawn. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. The fast begins before the sunrise with a small meal called sehri and is broken with an evening feast called Iftar.

The month of Ramadan, the ninth in the Islamic calendar which follows the lunar cycle, has special significance in the religion as it is believed the Holy Quran was sent down to earth in the month and was revealed to Prophet Mohammad in parts.

The holy Ramadan signifies fasting, charity and spirituality for the Muslim community.

While five-times a day prayers are compulsory for Muslims throughout the year, the month has special Taraweeh prayers which are offered in groups. This year, the light of social distancing norms and nationwide lockdown over coronavirus, Muslims have been advised not to gather for prayers and feast.

There are fixed timings of sehri and iftar for each day. Sehri timing means that the meal has to be finished before the given time and iftar timing is for breaking the fast.
