Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a holy month for Muslims worldwide. It’s a time for fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset during Ramadan. This fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the core practices of the religion.
Ramadan is believed to be the month when the Quran, the Islamic holy book, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It’s a time for Muslims to focus on their faith, grow closer to God, and develop self-discipline. They also often increase their charitable giving and good deeds during Ramadan.
