What does Ramadan mean most to you?
Ramadan 2026 Begins as Millions Worldwide Observe the Holy Month of Fasting
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered the holiest month in Islam. During Ramadan, Muslims fast daily from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs as an act of worship and spiritual discipline. The month commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad and is marked by increased prayer, Quran recitation, and charitable giving. Communities gather for nightly Taraweeh prayers and break their fast at sunset with iftar meals shared among family and friends. The conclusion of Ramadan is celebrated with Eid al-Fitr, one of the most important Islamic holidays. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Ramadan shifts earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar. Observed by nearly two billion Muslims worldwide, Ramadan carries deep spiritual, cultural, and social significance.
