If unable to fast, charity or fasting days outside Ramadan may suffice.””Understanding what a true Muslim cannot do during Ramadan goes beyond the prohibition of drinking or eating. The rules about Ramadan also emphasise avoiding sinful behaviours, such as deceit or hostility. Adhering to these principles helps Muslims use the time to focus on empathy, recite the Holy Quran, and strengthen their connection with our God, Allah.”What happens when Ramadan 2025 ends?Muslim faithful observing the Eid-el-Fitr prayer to celebrate the end of Ramadan in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, on April 10, 2024.
