Ramadan is the holiest month in Islam. During this month, people try to spend more time in ibadat, reading the Quran, and in other religious duties. These religious practices increase the level of Taqwa of an individual and bring him closer to Allah SWT.

The end of Ramadan is marked by the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. In Dhaka, people engage in extensive preparations, including cleaning and decorating their homes, shopping for new clothes for themselves and their children, and preparing special Eid dishes. Apart from that, charity plays a significant role during this time as well, with the giving of “Zakat al-Fitr or Fitrana,” a form of obligatory charity before the Eid prayer.
