#RamadanGiveaway Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, making it an important religious duty for adult Muslims. During the month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from food, drink, smoking, and sinful behavior.

The fast is broken at sunset with a meal called iftar, typically starting with dates and water, followed by a larger meal. Before dawn, Muslims eat a pre-fast meal called suhoor. Ramadan is also a time for increased spiritual practices such as reading the Qur'an, performing additional prayers (Tarawih), and giving to charity (Zakat).

The exact dates of Ramadan vary each year because the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, so Ramadan shifts about 10-12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. The month ends with Eid al-Fitr, a celebratory festival marked by communal prayers, feasting, and acts of charity.
