Indian Muslims getting ready for Ramadan

With the holy month of Ramadan only days away Delhi streets are beautifully decorated and last minute shopping is in full swing. The holy month of Ramadan begins on Tuesday in most parts of the world. During Ramadan Muslims practice self-restraint and spend most of their time praying.

In India all Islamic festivals are celebrated with devotion, but Ramadan holds unique significance as it acquires the character of a nationwide fair, with Muslim areas becoming dazzling and energetic towards the evening and remaining awake almost throughout the night. Along the street of the famous Nizamudin, we find endless stalls selling grilled chicken, kebabs and roadside dhabas selling Nihari, Kormas and other dishes.

Muslims around the world consider the month of Ramadan as a blessing but for parveena who lives in nizamudin area, Ramadan is the time of more hardship since she has no shelter or money to buy food and no means to protect her family from the sizzling heat.

It’s not just parveen. Many destitute Muslim families live on the streets of nizamudin. They, however, keep their spirits high and despite hardships they prepare themselves for the holy month of Ramadan with full fervor and wish all Muslims across the world a happy and blessed Ramadan.

The holy month of Ramadan is a time for prayers, charity and devotion. The fasting month ends on the Islamic holiday of Eid-ul-Fitr, when the new moon is sighted.
