What Is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the holiest month for Muslims. It is a time for fasting, prayer, kindness, and reflection. Muslims stop eating and drinking from sunrise (Sehri) to sunset (Iftar). The fast teaches patience, discipline, and gratitude.
During Ramadan, people give charity, help the poor, and try to become better in their faith. It is a month of peace and blessings for all Muslims.

Sehri and Iftar in Pakistan
Every day of Ramadan begins with Sehri, the early morning meal. People usually eat parathas, eggs, yoghurt, and tea to keep them full during the fast.
The fast ends with Iftar, which starts with dates and water, followed by traditional foods like pakoras, samosas, fruit chaat, and drinks. Families gather to eat together, and mosques hold Taraweeh prayers after Isha.
Life During Ramadan in Pakistan
In the evenings, streets and bazaars fill with life. Shops stay open late, and people enjoy buying food for Iftar and Suhoor. Mosques are full of worshippers, and charity work increases as people help those in need.
Ramadan in Pakistan is not just about fasting — it’s about community, kindness, and spiritual growth.
