One thing Ramadan is mainly celebrated is for Fasting and Feasting. Us Pakistanis get super excited for the Suhoor and Iftar, the samosas and pakoras followed by Rooh Afza and a grand dinner later. Breaking fasts with the entire family makes Ramadan even more special and fun.

These are a part of all the blessings in Ramadan.

Once Ramadan is over, Zakat Al-Fitr which is the charity that is given at the end of the month of Ramadan is done. It is hoped that through the performance of Zakat Al-Fitr, greed is eliminated from the hearts of the Muslims and further financial help is provided to the poor and needy people in the society. Not only this, but some Muslims also prefer to give the obligatory Zakat during this month as the rewards for good deeds are better and greater in this month.

Gathering of Families & Friends

Ramadan brings us even closer to our loved ones. Iftar parties are the main cause of this. Friends, relatives and family members gather together, they eat and pray and forgive each other for the sake of Allah and embrace each other with love. After Iftar, Maghrib prayers are performed and then Isha’ prayers followed by Taraweeh while they stand shoulder by shoulder together. This month has a very different spark and it is the blessing of the Almighty towards them.
