DUBAI: Last minute arrangements are underway as Muslims around the world stock up on groceries and dates for night foods to damage dawn-to-dusk fasting all over the month of Ramzan.
Saudi Arabia and different Muslim-majority nations, like Egypt and Indonesia, declared Ramzan would begin Thursday in response to a moon-sighting method. Muslims practice a lunar calendar, and a moon-sighting method can result in different international locations declaring the start of Ramzan an afternoon or two aside.
Some mosques in the USA have already declared the start of fasting Wednesday whilst others will begin Thursday.
The Ramzan speedy, wherein meals and even water is prohibited, is meant to carry the faithful nearer to God and remind them of the ones much less fortunate. It could also be an opportunity to kick addictions like caffeine and cigarettes.
