Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. It is the month in which the Quran is believed to have been revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Fasting from dawn to sunset is obligatory for all adult Muslims who are not exempt due to illness, travel, or other circumstances. The spiritual rewards of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan, and Muslims refrain from food and drink as well as sinful behavior during the hours of fasting.learn more on wikipedia
