New Delhi: The Islamic holy month of Ramazan or Ramadan began this year on April 2 and Roza (fasting) started a day after. It is during this time of 30 days that Muslims across the globe observe the fast (Roza) marking it as a gesture to revere the first revelation of the Holy Quran to Muhammad as per Islamic belief.

It is believed that people observe fasting in this month to purify their souls and seek forgiveness from the Almighty Allah. All those who are fasting during the daytime are allowed to eat only after sunset. However, there are certain parameters and some are given the relaxation of not keeping the fast the entire day. People who suffer from any illness, or those who are travelling, elderly people, pregnant women and those going through their menstrual cycle are barred from keeping a fast.
