Introduction
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and one of the most important months for Muslims around the world. It is a sacred time for worship, reflection, and spiritual growth.
Fasting in Ramadan
During Ramadan, Muslims fast every day from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). They do not eat or drink during the daytime. Fasting teaches patience, self-control, and helps Muslims understand the struggles of the poor.
Worship and Good Deeds
Ramadan is also a time for increased worship. Muslims read the Qur’an, perform extra prayers called Taraweeh, and make many supplications to Allah. They also try to help others and give charity to those in need.
Iftar and Suhoor
Muslims begin their fast with a pre-dawn meal called Suhoor. At sunset they break their fast with a meal called Iftar, often starting with dates and water.
