First Friday Namaz Of Ramadan In Nepal

First Friday Namaz Of Ramadan In Nepal

Muslims in Kathmandu, Nepal, are participating in the Namaz at a mosque on the first Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, on March 15, 2024. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is highly revered as it is believed that the Quran was first revealed to Earth during this time. The Quran is considered a guide for both men and women, providing direction and a path to salvation. Throughout the month, Muslims are observing a strict fast from dawn until sunset. Fasting is seen as a personal act of worship that brings individuals closer to God, serves as a spiritual discipline, and fosters empathy for the less fortunate. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
