This is the largest observance for which employers must pay workers the THR bonus at least a week before it begins. Near the end of this observance, people look for signs such as the moon appearing like half of a plate and a “feeble and red” sunrise with no rays. Padusan is a tradition of bathing in springs before this observance, during which lanterns called fanous are hung. As related in the Cow Surah, a part of this observance begins when the white and black (*) threads are distinguishable. During the last five odd days of this observance, participants look for signs of the Night of Power. To observe sawm during this period, the suhur before dawn is only followed by the iftar at sunset. For 10 points, the Eid al-Fitr ends the fasting required during what ninth month of Islam? ■END■
