Online prayers, shuttered mosques, and breaking the fast without relatives and friends: Muslims around the world are adjusting to Ramadan under social distancing rules

Ramadan typically draws tens of thousands of Muslims daily to the mosque and the adjoining Dome of the Rock. Worshippers will instead have to watch prayers on television.Governments in Asian countries with large Muslim populations urged people to keep their distance while observing Ramadan.

On Thursday, his government extended curbs on movement until May 12, cancelled popular evening bazaars and banned attendance at mosque prayers as well as travel back to people’s hometowns. “It’s the same in the mosque or at home,” said Agustustani. “For me, no matter where we are, prayers must go on, even though we cannot pray in the mosque.”

Some said their fate was not in their hands, although many wore masks as they lined up shoulder-to-shoulder to pray. The All India Islamic Centre of religious teaching will livestream recitations from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, every evening. Bangladesh has ordered mosques to restrict Ramadan evening prayers to 12 people and banned iftar gatherings, while Sri Lanka has closed mosques.

Sorry to see some stupid comments on this from some ediot ppl who don't know Muslims belive. Better for him to keep his mouth shut! Quran says in the meaning ( Do not throw yourself to the doom).What muslims do in current situation with physical spacing is inline with Islam faith

INTERESTING...🇺🇸

Don't they believe and trust their prayers and their God? How can a virus stop God's will?

Wish we had known, could have used social distancing on the Jihadists years ago.

Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6. He raped her when she was 9 years old.

Please don't forget the Uyghurs who are spending this Ramadan in ConcentrationCamps performing SlaveLabor! China is treating Islam as a crime and a mental illness, please stand in solidarity with out Muslim brothers and sisters against the ChineseCommunistParty! 🚫🇨🇳☭

During the Black Plague adult Muslims in Damascus would fast to ration food. Went upto three days without food or water. Then had a giant meal after three days.

Notwithstanding... - the faith in the true hearts is still marching on!

Say China get out of EAST TURKISTAN!

Say China stop killing the Uyghur!

Pray for Uyghur!

Speaking for Uyghur!

Save Uyghur!

Google Uyghur!

How do you think about UyghurS Ramadan time in EAST TURKISTAN! (Occupied by China )

There is concern crossing a busy street or flying in an airplane. That's LIFE.

“Fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, but it’s much more than just fasting from food. It’s a time of self-discipline, sacrifice and devotion.”

There should be NO observance of Ramadan in the United States of America!! Islam is not a religion. It is a war machine, planning insurrection against America!!

Happy Ramadan!

“We ask God to have mercy on us and all of humanity and to save us from this lethal pandemic,” the imam said.

May Allah end this plague

Sad part of this Ramadan, witnessing this for the first time in my life
