The month of Ramzan is considered the most sacred in Islam. During this time, people of the Muslim community not only keep fast but also take a pledge to help the poor, feed the hungry and stay away from evil. Imam Qari Noorullah Rahmani of the mosque located at Hatia Gachhi in Saharsa said that the purpose of Ramzan is to fulfil the duty of humanity and worship Allah.

During Ramadan, along with five times prayers, Roza is also considered to be obligatory. Imam Qari Noorullah said that the reward of worship done in this month is many times more. That is why people of the Muslim community keep Roza and worship Allah throughout the month. In this holy month, the doors of heaven are opened and the doors of hell are closed.
