In the fasting month when Muslims stop eating and drinking during the day, Ramadan started on the 24th in Asian countries, Indonesia, which is said to have the largest Muslim population in the world, closed a mosque to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, It was quiet.

Ramadan is a Muslim that cuts off food and drink during the day for about a month, and many Muslims worship in mosques because of their growing religious spirit. Unusual measures have been taken, such as worship at mosques being prohibited in the country.

Ramadan has begun in Asian countries on the 24th, and even in Indonesia, which is said to have the largest Muslim population in the world, governments and religious groups are calling for worship at home.

The mosque that can accommodate 200,000 people in the capital, Jakarta, is crowded with many Muslims every year, but it was closed and deserted at the request of the government.

A mosque spokesman said, "This is the first time the mosque has been closed and it's very sad. But we need to comply with the government's request."

On the other hand, in Pakistan, due to the weather on the night of the 23rd, it was decided to start on the 25th, assuming that the new moon for entering Ramadan could not be confirmed.

The Pakistani government called for refraining from worship in mosques, which can be crowded, but some citizens and religious groups strongly opposed this, so during the period of Ramadan they wore masks and were about 2 meters long. The worship service at the mosque will be accepted, provided that there is a space between the two.

Regarding worship in the mosque, there is a conflict between the Muslims who had forced Friday worship on the 10th of this month in the southern city of Karachi and police who tried to prevent it.
