Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, also transliterated as Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, or Ramathan, is a time of spiritual reflection, improvement and increased devotion and worship. It is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad according to Islamic belief. The beginning and end of Ramadan are determined by the lunar Islamic calendar. Hilāl (the crescent) is typically a day (or more) after the astronomical new moon. Since the new moon marks the beginning of the new month, Muslims can usually safely estimate the beginning of Ramadan.

Fasting is fardh for adult Muslims, except for those who are suffering from an illness, travelling, are elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or going through menstruation. However, many Muslims with medical conditions still insist on fasting, to satisfy their spiritual needs. Many children also practice fasting for later life. This act is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities and purifies the soul with the release of harmful impurities. It has been suggested that fasting during Ramadan also has numerous health benefits.

The fast begins at dawn with Muslims observing suhur, a pre-fast meal and begin Fajr prayer after stopping a short time before dawn. At sunset, Muslim families hasten for the fast-breaking meal or iftar, usually with dates as the first food. Following that, they generally adjourn for the Maghrib prayer, after which the main meal is served. Ramadan also teaches Muslims how to better practice self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, empathy for those who are less fortunate. They will continue their fast until the last day of Ramadan and pay the Zakat and fitra before offering the Eid prayers and also encouraged to perform Tarawih during Ramadan in the mosques every night of the month, during which a whole section of the Quran (juz', which is 1/30 of the Quran) is recited. Ramadan al-mubarak!
