@selina073a: Ramadan is the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring adult Muslims to abstain from food, drink, smoking, and intimate relations from dawn until sunset to foster self-discipline, gratitude, and empathy for the less fortunate. Key Aspects of Ramadan: Fasting (Sawm): Daily fasting from dawn (Fajr) to sunset (Maghrib) is mandatory for healthy adult Muslims. Purpose: To gain greater God-consciousness (taqwa), spiritual reflection, and discipline. Daily Routine: The fast begins with a pre-dawn meal called suhoor and is broken at sunset with a meal called iftar. Religious Observances: Increased prayer (including special nightly Tarawih prayers), recitation of the Quran, and acts of charity (Zakat). Prohibitions: Beyond food and drink, Muslims must refrain from negative behaviors such as lying, fighting, and gossip. Timing: As a lunar month, its dates shift annually, usually lasting 29–30 days. The month ends with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the "Feast of Fast-Breaking". Children, the elderly, the sick, pregnant or menstruating women, and travellers are exempt from fasting. #Ramadan #ramadan2026 #islami
