Have you ever wondered why millions of people around the world
fast from dawn to sunset for an entire month?
The 9th month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar,
Ramadan is one of the holiest months –
It marks the moment when the first verses of the Quran
were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over 1400 years ago.
On the 29th evening of the previous lunar month,
scholars, astronomers, and moon-sighting committees
meet to scan the sky for the new crescent moon.
That visual confirmation is key to knowing
exactly when Ramadan begins.
Because of time zones, weather and geography,
different regions may spot it on different days —
making the exact date of Ramadan’s beginning
vary from place to place.
Fasting is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam,
the core acts of worship that shape Muslim's faith.
It’s seen not just as a duty,
but as a way to practice discipline
and grow closer to God.
Ramadan is also a time to cultivate kindness,
give to charity and support their neighbors in need.
During Ramadan, fasting Muslims wake up early
for a meal called Suhoor.
After that, fasting Muslims don’t eat or drink anything –
yes, not even water – until sunset,
when they break fast with a meal called Iftar.
If fasting Muslims need to travel or get sick and can’t fast,
they can add days at the end.
Ramadan is a global event!
In every corner of the world,
while there are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world,
it is estimated that at least 90% observe Ramadan.
It is common to find communal gatherings and Iftar dinners
in Muslim communities in many countries.
It is truly a universal occasion!
As a form of appreciation for their patience
throughout the holy month,
Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr
after the end of Ramadan.
It’s a festive time to rejoice in the completion of fasting
and to give thanks for blessings.
May this blessed month bring peace and understanding to everyone—
whether you’re observing or simply learning about it.
