Ramazan al-Mubarak

In addition to fasting, a range of supplementary acts of worship is encouraged during Ramazan, including prayer (Salah), supplication (Dua), and charitable giving (Zakat). Shia teachings highlight the importance of communal prayers, especially the nightly Tarawih prayers, which foster a sense of unity within the community. Special emphasis is placed on congregational prayers, as they exemplify the unity of the Ummah (community) in worship and devotion during this holy month.

Charity, particularly through acts of kindness, is a vital aspect of Shia teachings during Ramazan. The month serves as a reminder of the socio-economic disparities present within society. Hence, philanthropists are encouraged to engage in acts of generosity, assisting those less fortunate. The practice of giving not only fulfills a religious obligation but also strengthens communal ties and nurtures a spirit of compassion and solidarity among believers.
