What is Ramadan?

Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان) is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and the holiest month in Islam. It is observed by over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community.

The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramida (رمد), meaning "scorching heat" or "dryness." Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, making it an obligatory religious duty for every adult Muslim who is physically able.

Ramadan holds special significance because it is the month in which the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The month ends with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous celebration marking the end of fasting.

Ramadan Fasting Rules

🌅
Fasting Hours
Muslims fast from the Fajr (pre-dawn) prayer until the Maghrib (sunset) prayer. This means no eating, drinking (including water), smoking, or sexual relations during daylight hours.
🌙
Suhoor (Pre-dawn Meal)
Suhoor (also spelled sehri) is the meal eaten before the Fajr prayer. It is highly recommended (sunnah) and provides energy throughout the fasting day. Best suhoor foods include oats, eggs, dates, and complex carbohydrates.
🌇
Iftar (Breaking the Fast)
Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast at sunset (Maghrib). Traditionally started with dates and water or a glass of milk, following the Prophet's (PBUH) practice. Iftar is a time for family and community gathering.
📿
Prayer and Quran
During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to perform additional prayers (Tarawih) and increase Quran recitation. The last 10 nights, especially Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power), are particularly blessed.
💝
Charity (Zakat al-Fitr)
Giving charity is greatly emphasized during Ramadan. Before Eid al-Fitr, Muslims are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr to help the poor participate in Eid celebrations.

Ramadan fasting is obligatory for adult Muslims who are physically and mentally capable. The following groups are exempt or may postpone their fasts:
