FAQs
1. What are the activities of the first day of Ramadan for Muslims?
Ramadan starts with Sehri just before Fajr prayer, and then the day is followed by fasting. Families congregate in the Iftar at the end of the day and interpret Maghrib prayer, and many also participate in special Taraweeh prayers in the mosque. The day is characterised by appreciation, altruism and spirituality.
2. Are there any special traditions during Day 1 of Ramadan?
Yes, most of the families cook local food on the first Iftar and adorn their homes. The first night of Taraweeh is when mosques are usually very busy, and charitable missions and prayers are organised by communities as a way of ushering in the holy month.
3. Do people not hold parties on the first Roza?
Small Iftar parties are a common practice among families and friends during the first fast. In some other communities and organisations, there are also free Iftar meals, which focus on unity, generosity, and togetherness at the beginning of Ramadan.
