Such weather is no less than a blessing during month of fasting

In what can be termed a pleasant surprise and a much-needed respite, weather patterns in most parts of the country continue to provide relief in the holy month of Ramazan, which according to weather pundits will continue in the month of May, too.

Most people in the federal capital, like other parts, had unpacked the warm clothes due to the unexpected rains and cloudy weather at the time when usually hot weather is anticipated. Frequent rains and cloudy weather conditions at the time when they are fasting and spending time praying is a godsend

“It feels like the spring season has been prolonged this year due to which the weather is still a little bit cold especially from evening till night.

We have unpacked the warm clothes to save ourselves and children from the seasonal diseases due to changing weather”, Sumaira Naeem, a housewife who lives at F-6/1 said.

Speaking to the media, she said: “The pleasant weather always makes it easier for us to fast and perform our day to day duties alongside. Such weather is no less than a blessing during the month of fasting”.

Moreover, on the first day of Ramzan, rain of light to moderate intensity in Islamabad like other parts of the country had turned the weather pleasant and a large number of faithful visitors rushed to mosques at Sehri time to focus more on religious observances.

Imams and muezzins of all the mosques in the country had been instructed to keep the place tidy and ensure an adequate supply of power and water during the holy month to meet the requirements of the increased number of Muslims, according to a report aired by PTV news channel.

Like every year, this year also the hustle and bustle in mosques had increased with the advent of Ramzan, said a citizen, Abbas. A large number of citizens observed Sehri at homes while a huge influx of people was also seen in restaurants as well, a shopkeeper at Jinnah Super added.

The weather became more pleasant with downpours on the first day of the holy month, said another citizen, adding, it brought a shine to the faces of the faithful and hope that the next fasting days would also be pleasant.

“We are making every effort to give the worshippers a conducive environment to offer their prayers at the mosque with serenity and sanctity,” said an administrative officer in a local mosque.

Special arrangements were also made for Sehri and iftar in mosques, said an Imam. A heavy rush of the faithful was witnessed in the mosques with the advent of the holy month of Ramzan, said another imam of a mosque, adding, special prayers were also offered for the prosperity and integrity of the country and the well-being of the people.

Thousands of people offered namaz at various mosques on the occasion of the first sehri of Ramzan, said Ali, a resident of G-6. Even the youngsters clad in kurta pyjamas and white topi reached the mosque to offer prayers.
