Like fellow Muslims worldwide, more than five million Tajikistani Muslims celebrate the holy month Ramadan and reveal many of their Ramadan-related customs, traditions and cultural and spiritual activities.
The total Tajikistani population is about six million, 90% of whom are the most devoted Muslims in mid-Asia and the most observing religious duties and Islamic identity, according to the government statistics.
The Tajik government says 90 percent of the population of 6.1 million is Muslim. The mullahs estimated that 30 percent of the people attend prayer services regularly and about 60 percent during Ramadan, according to the Moscow Times.
There are about 300 mosques in Tajikistan that are playing important cultural role in the life of Tajikistani Muslims throughout the year especially in Ramadan Kareem. As the month of Ramadan approaches, an unusual restlessness and watchfulness prevails over Tajikistani life on all its governmental, familial and individual levels.
Informational and cultural bodies and organizations responsible for food supply and consumers diligently boost their activities to help get the public materially and spiritually prepared for the holy month of Ramadan.
