Ramadan in Afghanistan is a deeply significant and sacred time for the country's predominantly Muslim population, which observes this month with great devotion. Here’s a description of how Ramadan is typically observed in Afghanistan:
Spiritual Significance: Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. It marks the month when the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. In Afghanistan, like in other Muslim-majority countries, it is a time for heightened devotion, deepening one's relationship with Allah, and seeking forgiveness and blessings.
Fasting (Sawm): During Ramadan, Muslims in Afghanistan fast from dawn until sunset. This means abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and other physical needs during daylight hours. Fasting is viewed as both an act of worship and a way to experience empathy for the less fortunate. The fast is broken at sunset with a meal called Iftar, and the pre-dawn meal before the fast begins is called Suhoor.
Prayer and Religious Practices: Increased prayer and reading of the Qur'an are common during Ramadan. Afghans often attend mosque for the nightly Taraweeh prayers, which are special prayers held during the month of Ramadan. Many people also spend time reading the Qur'an at home or in groups. It is a time when people try to strengthen their faith, give charity (Zakat), and engage in acts of kindness and community support.
