To welcome the holy month, the management of the mosques across the city have spruced up the places of worship and readied them for the conduct of the ‘Taraweeh’, a special night prayer held during the month of Ramzan, in which chapters of the holy Quran are recited by the Hafiz sahab.

At the historic Mecca Masjid, every day three Surah (chapters) of the holy Quran will be recited after Isha prayers. In some places, special arrangements have been made for the women to attend Taraweeh prayers. Some mosques will conduct the special night prayers around 10.30 pm for the convenience of officer-goers and businessmen. (Maxim News)
