Last Friday prayers of the holy month of Ramadan in Pakistan

Pakistani Muslims are attending the final Friday prayers of the holy month of Ramadan at the Sunehri Mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan, on April 5, 2024. The holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, is believed to be the time when the first verse of the Koran was revealed during its last 10 nights. It is annually celebrated by praying during the night and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts from sunrise to sunset. It is also a time for socializing, primarily in the evening after breaking the fast, with a shift of all activities to later in the day in most countries.
