The Gate of Rayyan: Tell me more about Ramadan

By SABA JASIM

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered the holiest month for Muslims worldwide. It is observed as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and sinful behavior. The fast is broken each evening with a meal known as iftar, and the pre-dawn meal is called suhoor.

Ramadan is significant because it commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is seen as a time for spiritual growth, increased devotion, and acts of charity. Muslims engage in additional prayers like Taraweeh, read the Quran, and strive to strengthen their connection with God.

The month concludes with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous celebration marking the end of fasting, where families gather, exchange gifts, and perform charitable acts. Ramadan encourages self-discipline, empathy for the less fortunate, and a deeper sense of community and faith.
