For the first time, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no pilgrimage to Mecca during Ramadan, which begins on April 23.
There will be no nightly congregational prayers in Wagga or around the world.
There will be no gathering of the faithful for the fast-breaking festival of Eid after the 30 days have come to their end.
But Muslim Association of the Riverina and Wagga Australia (MARWA) leader, Dr Waseem Afzal, sees the event as having no less significance even in isolation.
"Over Ramadan, we will listen to a 30-minute recitation of the Koran every night online," Dr Afzal said.
"But there will be no gathering of any sort. We are still looking to connect [with each other] but it will be virtual."
MARWA member Dr Ata-Ur Rehman sees the Muslim event as taking on even greater significance during the COVID-19 situation.
"We might not be able to go to the mosque, but the scripture remains, the reason why we fast is still intact," Dr Rehman said.
"We fast to reflect on the struggles the world is going through. Here we live comfortably and we hardly think of the poor in the world.
"That is why we fast and we donate 2.5 per cent of our income to help the poor all year."
In other news:
Normally, on each night of Ramadan, up to 80 would gather to break the fast and pray in Wagga.
"That will be really missed this year. We sit together between cycles of prayer, we chat, we're social," Dr Afzal said.
"After the fast, we normally have four or five families come together to each night. That will be another thing that will be missed."
MARWA's collective of over 400 members will continue their five daily prayers in isolation but will have to forgo the regular gathered prayers.
"Prayer can't be done in a congregation, we can do lectures, short reminders, listen to the Koran online, but people at home cannot follow along with prayers in the mosque," Dr Afzal said.
"We need to be physically present to participate in prayers."
For some, Dr Afzal expects the fasting this year will be made harder.
"Some people will be anxious, meeting together is a very human thing. When we can't, we are anxious, but we are understanding," he said.
