About Ramadan
The name "Ramadan" is derived from the Arabic word "ramad," which means intense heat or dryness. It is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and holds great significance for Muslims worldwide. Ramadan is a time of fasting, prayer, self-reflection, and increased devotion to Allah. It commemorates the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad and is considered a month of spiritual purification, increased charity, and seeking forgiveness. Muslims observe daily fasting from dawn to sunset during Ramadan as a means of self-discipline and empathy for those less fortunate. The name "Ramadan" thus represents a sacred and transformative period in the Islamic faith.
