During this month, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset, and this fasting is considered one of the fundamental pillars of Islam. During this time, mosques are warmly welcomed by the public, creating a spiritual and pleasant atmosphere throughout the country. The UAE government has also reduced working hours for employees in the public and private sectors. According to the announcement from the Federal Authority for Human Resources, working hours during this month will be from 9 AM to 2:30 PM from Monday to Thursday and from 9 AM to 12 PM on Fridays. These changes are intended to facilitate the performance of worship and religious activities during this blessed month. Additionally, extensive preparations are underway to welcome the month of Ramadan in mosques and public centers. This month is an opportunity for people to come together and strengthen social and family ties. During this time, divine blessings become more apparent in people's lives, and everyone is encouraged to help the needy and give alms.
