"Ramadan", also known as the holy month of fasting is a tradition that is customary for Muslims to observe a mourning period lasting 100 days following the passing of a loved one. This extended time of remembrance allows family members and close relatives to support each other through the grieving process. Throughout these 100 days prayers are offered regularly for the soul while family members refrain from partaking in gatherings and festivities as a sign of respect and commemoration. This period also serves as an opportunity, for reflection and spiritual contemplation providing solace and closure to the bereaved through teachings and the support of their community. They observe mourning rituals on specific days following the death, including the 20th day, 30th day, and subsequent intervals leading up to the 100th day, as part of their mourning tradition.

The Molbog tribe practices a form of prayer known as Du'a which is deeply intertwined with their beliefs and customs. This sacred ritual involves reaching out to Allah (God) to express reverence, appreciation and requests, for intervention. Whether performed individually or, as a group the Molbog community turns to Du'a for guidance, blessings and protection in their routines and significant life events. The act of Du'a is observed at intervals throughout the day including 3 a.m., 6 a.m. 9 a.m. 12 p.m., 3 p.m. And 6 p.m.

"Eid'l Fitr", which marks the end of Ramadan, is a joyous celebration observed by the Molbog tribe at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. This festival marks the conclusion of fasting and is a time of communal prayers, feasting, and charitable acts. The Molbog people gather with family and friends to offer special prayers, express gratitude for blessings received during Ramadan, and seek forgiveness. Traditional dishes are prepared and shared, and gifts are exchanged as symbols of goodwill and unity. Eid'l Fitr is a significant occasion for the Molbog tribe, highlighting the values of compassion, generosity, and spiritual renewal within their Islamic heritage.
