MONTH OF RAMADAN
RAMADAN IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE FOR MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD. IT IS THE NINTH MONTH OF THE ISLAMIC CALENDAR AND IS MARKED BY FASTING, PRAYER, AND REFLECTION. DURING THIS TIME, MUSLIMS ABSTAIN FROM FOOD, DRINK, AND OTHER PHYSICAL NEEDS FROM DAWN UNTIL SUNSET, IN ORDER TO FOCUS ON SPIRITUAL PURIFICATION AND SELF-DISCIPLINE. RAMADAN IS CONSIDERED A TIME FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN ACTS OF CHARITY AND COMPASSION TOWARDS OTHERS. MUSLIMS BREAK THEIR FASTS TOGETHER IN THE EVENINGS AND SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE END OF RAMADAN IS MARKED BY THE JOYOUS CELEBRATION OF EID AL-FITR, WHICH INVOLVES FEASTING, GIFT-GIVING, AND SPENDING TIME WITH LOVED ONES.
