Ramadan 2026: How it is celebrated?
Ramadan is the most sacred period for introspection. Being disciplined and practicing self-discipline are the most important things to do throughout the holy month of Ramadan. These are the easiest ways to feel close to the God. In order to get closer to Allah, the Almighty, individuals abstain from everything throughout this holy month. They acquire the ability to regulate their senses and avoid any negative behavior. In addition to inviting friends and family for Iftaar, people greet each other saying- “Ramadan Mubarak” and “Ramadan Kareem” to welcome one another.
