Celebrating Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims observe a month-long fast from dawn until sunset. . Ramadan is an important time for spiritual reflection, prayer, and acts of charity, and is a time for Muslims to focus on strengthening their relationship with Allah and seeking His forgiveness.

Ramadan is celebrated by Muslims through observing a fast during daylight hours, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. Muslims also increase their spiritual devotion through increased prayer, recitation of the Quran, and acts of charity. The month culminates with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a festival of joy and thanksgiving, marked by feasting, family gatherings, and the exchange of gifts.
