The fasting month of Ramazan has begun across the country from today. The worshippers thronged mosques last night, to offer special night prayers called “Traweeh”, which will continue throughout the month. Ramazan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated at the culmination of this month.

In Gulf countries, today is the second day of the holy month of Ramazan.
