What is the month of Ramadan?
Ramadan is a month in the Islamic Hijri Calendar. During this month Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. While fasting, Muslims abstain from eating, drinking as well as sexual interaction. They are encouraged to do as many good deeds as they could during the month such as giving away food, money, clothes etc. It is also a month of prayers, rituals and community. Right after Ramadan comes Eid el Fitr which is one of the two biggest celebrations that Muslims observe during the year.
