Ramadan, observed by Muslims worldwide, is a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. It commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. From dawn until sunset, adults refrain from eating, drinking, and other physical needs, focusing instead on spiritual growth, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate. The fast is broken each evening with a meal called iftar. Ramadan also emphasizes increased devotion through prayer and recitation of the Quran.
