Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, sexual conduct, smoking, and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured; from dawn until sunset.

Fasting is meant to teach the Muslim patience, modesty and spirituality. Ramadan is a time to fast for the sake of Allah (swt), and to offer more prayer than usual.

Muslims also believed through good actions, they get rewarded seventy times as much as they normally can achieve.

During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.

As compared to solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving forward about ten days each year.

Ramadan was the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the ProphetMuhammad (saw)
