About Ramadan Start

The start of Ramadan marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of fasting, prayer, and community service. During this time, observant Muslims in Mauritania abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset to practice spiritual discipline. The period is characterized by increased devotion and evening gatherings to break the fast.
