As the month of Ramzan has begun on Thursday evening, the members of Islahul Muslemin have appealed to the Muslims to offer namaz from their homes. Community secretary Firoz Pathan and sadar Sirajuddin Sheikh asked the people to not visit mosques to offer namaz.
They told the devotees to not even go at each other’s place to gather and perform the prayers.
