Ramadan

Ramadan (Wed Mar 22nd, 2023-Thu Apr 20th, 2023) is a month-long period of fasting and spiritual reflection observed by Muslims around the world. The fast, considered as one of the five pillars of Islam, is called sawn. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is considered to be the holiest month in Islam. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset, with the intention of gaining spiritual purification and developing self-discipline. It is also a time for increased prayer, charitable giving, and community engagement. At sunset, Muslims break their fast with a meal called iftar, and may also participate in special evening prayers known as taraweeh. The end of Ramadan is marked by the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a joyous festival of feasting, gift-giving, and communal gatherings. Check out these titles
