Significance of Ramzan
Observed by Muslims around the world, Ramzan is marked by fasting from dawn to dusk, alongside heightened devotion, charity and self-discipline. The month commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad and is regarded as a time for spiritual growth and collective solidarity.
Devotees participate in daily fasts (roza), special evening prayers (Taraweeh), and charitable giving through zakat and sadaqah, reinforcing values of empathy and social responsibility.
The messages from the Congress leaders come as communities across the country prepare for prayers and outreach initiatives, reflecting the broader themes of peace, mutual respect and harmony that define the holy month.
