In Singapore, the start of Ramadan is determined by the moon-sighting, following Islamic tradition. It is a significant day for Muslims as it marks the beginning of the holy month of fasting. The exact date varies each year, as it depends on the lunar Islamic calendar.
Ramadan commemorates the month when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. It is a time for spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and heightened devotion. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs.
On the first day of Ramadan in Singapore:
Fasting: Practicing Muslims begin their fast at dawn (known as "Sahur") and break it at sunset (called "Iftar").
Prayers: Increased prayers are performed, especially the nightly 'Tarawih' prayers which are held in mosques.
Charity: Acts of charity (Zakat and Sadaqah) are emphasized to help those in need.
Community: Many families gather to break their fast together with communal meals.
Reflection: Individuals engage in personal reflection and seek to purify their behavior through good deeds and discipline.
