The holy month of Ramadan has begun as Muslims celebrated the Pehli Sehri early morning today. Ahead of the next 40 days of fasting, make this day special for your loved ones with these quotes and images.
Today marks the beginning of the holy and auspicious month of Ramadan. During this holy month, devotees prepare their hearts for a time of repentance and pasting. They bow their heads and ask for forgiveness to Allah as they restrain themselves from all kinds of food the entire month. People only break their fast at the end of each day upon siting the moon. At the end of the period, they break their fast on a date before binging on traditional delicacies, called Iftaar. But the timing of the moon spotting changes every night.
As per reports by International Astronomical Center, the fasting is said to begin from May 6. India.Com adds, “While the final announcement will be made by the moon sighting committee, the director or the IAC, Mohammad Shaukat, has reportedly conveyed that the moon will be sighted on May 5 in all likelihood, in the East and South-East of India, Southern Europe and the Arab Nations.”
The first day of the month of Ramadan is called Pehli Sehri Mubarak. As fasting is an integral part of the religious month, it is not just abstaining from food and drinks but of about taking the human self to such a level of purity both by action and mentally that one could connect to Allah. Fasting is done from sunrise to sunset and absolutely no consumption of food and drink between the allotted times. The Ramadan timetable goes something like this – Suhoor or Sehri is the meal eaten before early morning fajr prayer and iftar or Fatoor is the evening meal consumed to break the fast daily at the sunset. Muslims only begin eating after Maghrib or the evening prayer.
Check out these Ramadan wishes, quotes and images to share with your loved ones to make this holy month special.
