“Awal Ramadan” in Malaysia marks the first day of Ramadan. It is a public holiday in Johor, Kedah, and Melaka. This day is deemed as the most sacred for Muslims, apart from the month of Ramadan itself. It is observed as a time of peace and mourning. Muslims start fasting from sunrise to sunset, and this period is often spent in prayer, self-reflection, and increased religious devotion
