Ramathan, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It holds great significance for Muslims worldwide and is observed as a month of fasting.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. This practice allows them to devote themselves to their faith, teaches self-discipline, and reminds them of the suffering of the less fortunate.
Children, pregnant women, elderly individuals, and those who are ill or traveling are exempt from fasting.
Muslims have two main meals during Ramadan,Suhoor is pre-dawn meal before fasting begins. And Iftar: The meal eaten after sunset to break the fast.
Muslims aim to read the entire Qur’an during Ramadan. Special services in mosques involve recitation of the Qur’an.
Then there is Lailut ul-Qadr (The Night of Power): This night, believed to be when the Qur’an was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It occurs during the last ten days of Ramadan.
The end of Ramadan is marked by a joyous celebration called Eid ul-Fitr (the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast). Muslims dress in their finest clothes, spend time with family and friends, and give to charity.
