What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and it’s a special time for Muslims around the world. It’s a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and other physical needs. This fasting isn’t just about going without food; it’s also about spiritual discipline, empathy for those less fortunate, and drawing closer to God. Muslims also engage in increased prayer and recitation of the Quran during this time. At sunset, families and friends come together to break their fast with a meal called iftar, often starting with dates and water as per tradition. Ramadan is also a time for acts of charity, kindness, and self-improvement. By the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a festive holiday marking the conclusion of fasting and a time for joyous gatherings, feasting, and giving thanks. Overall, Ramadan is a deeply spiritual and meaningful time for Muslims worldwide, emphasizing the values of compassion, self-discipline, and gratitude.
