In Pakistan, Mosques Are Never Empty
With
the coming of Ramadan, Pakistani citizens make `Umrah their first
concern. Though straitened may be their circumstances, they never
lose such a chance.
In
Pakistan, Friday markets are everywhere to provide people with
their basic needs at low prices. Pakistani women begin preparing
Iftar at a very early time of the day in addition to some light
drinks and meals. After Taraweeh, supper is offered which is mostly
a good spicy meal.
During
the last ten days, the case is different as men gather together to
have Suhoor in nearby mosques. Before Suhoor time, they begin
reciting and studying the Qur'an.
Days
before `Eid Al-Fitr (Lesser Bairam) candy is distributed and
markets are open around the hour so that people can get their needs
for `Eid.
Before
`Eid Prayer begins, Pakistani people wear new clothes and head to
the public playground to perform `Eid Prayer. Kissing one another
and exchanging congratulations the Pakistanis show their joy with
the coming of the Lesser Bairam, `Eid Mubarak.
