Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, holds immense significance for Muslims worldwide. It is a time dedicated to fasting, spiritual reflection, and communal harmony, commemorating the period when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. During this month, Muslims engage in dawn-to-dusk fasting, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs, focusing on spiritual growth, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate.
