Ramadan 11

6. Emphasis on Fasting and Prayer

The observance of fasting during Ramadan is extensive and embraced with fervor by Shia adherents. On the 11th day, the act of fasting becomes an embodiment of spiritual discipline. Individuals are reminded that each day of fasting is laden with potential rewards and that conscious fasting enhances one’s connection to Allah.

Prayer assumes a central role as well, with the 11th day being particularly conducive to additional night prayers (Tahajjud) and the recitation of the Quran. Engaging with the Quran remains particularly emphasized; many Shia scholars advocate for specific Quranic passages to be recited and contemplated on throughout Ramadan, reinforcing the importance of divine guidance in daily affairs.
