#RamadanGiveaway Ramadan (from Arabic: رَمَضَان [ramaḍān]) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, respected by Muslims as the month of fasting (from Arabic: صَوْم [ṣawm]), prayer, reflection, and community. Each year, the month in which Ramadan is celebrated shifts around the lunar month. It commemorates the first revelation to Muhammad. The annual observance of Ramadan is considered one of the five pillars of Islam and its duration is from twenty-nine to thirty days, from the crescent moon to the next crescent moon.
