Ramadan in Different Parts of World amid Coronavirus Crisis

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The holy month of Ramadan is different this year given the spread of the coronavirus and the restrictions imposed to tackle it.

The Muslims world is grappling with an untimely paradox of the new coronavirus pandemic: enforced separation at a time when socializing is almost sacred.

The holiest month in the Islamic calendar is one of family and togetherness – community, reflection, charity and prayer.

But with shuttered mosques, coronavirus curfews and bans on mass prayers from Senegal to Southeast Asia, some 1.8 billion Muslims are experiencing a Ramadan like never before.
