What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is a time when many Muslims around the world observe a month-long fast. During Ramadan, observant Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and engaging in any other physical needs from dawn until sunset. The fast is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is mandatory for all adult Muslims, except those who are elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, menstruating, or traveling.
The fast is intended to teach self-discipline and self-control, and to remind Muslims of the suffering of those who are less fortunate. It is also seen as a time for spiritual reflection and growth, and for strengthening one’s relationship with God. Many Muslims also take this time to read the entire Quran and to engage in extra prayers and acts of charity.
Ramadan is also an important time for community and family. After the fast is broken each evening, Muslims gather together for a meal called iftar, which usually includes dates and water, followed by a larger meal with family and friends. Many mosques also host iftar meals that are open to the community.
The month of Ramadan concludes with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which is celebrated with prayer, family gatherings, and festive meals. It is a time of forgiveness, generosity, and gratitude.
