Ramadan 2024: Among the 12 months of the Islamic calendar, the ninth month is considered the most sacred and special. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is ‘Ramzan’ (Ramzan 2024). This entire month Muslims keep fast from morning to evening (sunrise to sunset). This is called fasting. Roza is one of the five duties of Islam. Therefore, fasting is the duty of every Muslim. The purpose of fasting is to bring oneself closer to Allah.
When is the first Roza of Ramadan 2024 (Ramadan 2024 First Roza Date)
The exact date of Ramadan is known only after the sighting of the moon on the last day of the month of Shaban (the eighth month of the Islamic calendar). However, there is a greater possibility that Ramadan may start from March 11. If the moon is visible on March 11, then the first Roza will be observed on March 12. That means fasting starts from the next morning after the moon is sighted. This year, the Sehri of the first fast will be at 5.04 am and Iftar will be at 6.23 pm. In such a situation, the first fast this year will be for 13 hours and 19 minutes. The last fast will be for 14 hours and 14 minutes.
Importance of fasting in Ramadan (Importance of Roza,
During Ramadan, Muslims keep fast and spend more and more time worshiping Allah. In the Holy Quran of Islam (Al-Baqarah-184), Allah orders that ‘W an tasumu khayrullukum in kuntum taalamun’. That is, fasting is better for you if you know. In Arabic language, Roza is called Saum or Syam, which means restraint. In this way, fasting teaches patience. But patience is not just being hungry during fasting. During this time the intention should also be clear, only then the fast is complete. While from social point of view, Roza is goodness of human being, from religious point of view it is purification of soul. Actually, fasting is observed for full 29 or 30 days in Ramadan. But the first fast is the beginning of faith.
