Iran Press/Asia: Jama Masjid in Old Delhi is a Muslim-dominated area in which the beauty of Ramadan is worth seeing.
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, is one of the most sacred times for Muslims.
During this month, Muslims observe a strict fast from dawn until sunset. They are not allowed to eat or drink (even water) during daylight hours. Fasting is a private act of worship bringing about nearness to God, as well as a form of spiritual discipline and a means to empathize with those less fortunate. The fast is broken at the end of the day with prayer and a festive meal called an iftar. It is customary to visit family and friends following the iftar.
