Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a period of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During daylight hours, practitioners abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs to foster self-discipline, spiritual growth, and empathy for those less fortunate. The month commemorates the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad. It concludes with Eid al-Fitr, a celebration involving communal prayers, feasting, and giving charity. Ramadan emphasizes inner purification, gratitude, and strengthened faith, serving as a profound spiritual discipline and a time for family and community bonding.
