What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and the holiest month for Muslims worldwide. During this blessed month, Muslims observe fasting (sawm) from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs.
It is a time of spiritual reflection, increased devotion, prayer, and acts of charity. The Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during Ramadan, making it a month of immense spiritual significance.
