UAE: Residents Likely To Get A five-day Eid-Al-Fitr Break

The Muslims residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) began to observe the holy month of Ramadan from Tuesday, April 13.

Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and it is based on lunar cycles. Hence, its dates change accordingly. An Islamic month is 29 to 30 days long.

Muslims celebrate Eid-Al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan.

Earlier, the worshippers in UAE offered the first Taraweeh before the first Roza.

Taraweeh prayers are the special prayers Muslims offer during the whole month of Ramadan. They recite Holy Quran in Taraweeh prayer. The prayer consists of 20 rakaats and is offered with Isha prayers.

Ramadan 2020 was full of tests, as people were not allowed to gather in large congregations. However, they will enjoy offering special prayers together this year, with safety measures.

Dr. Seif Al Dhaheri, the spokesperson for the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), had earlier announced that Taraweeh prayers will be offered in Mosques in the UAE. Taraweeh prayer and Isha prayer have been covered at 30 minutes.
