RAMADAN EVENING OF FRI, FEB 28, 2025 – SAT, MAR 29, 2025
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is considered the holiest month for Muslims. It is a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Why is it called the Holy Month? Ramadan is sacred because it’s believed to be the month when the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the angel Jibreel (Gabriel). During this time, Muslims strive to grow closer to God through fasting, worship, and good deeds. Fasting (Sawm) Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from eating, drinking, and other physical needs. This fast is broken each evening with a meal called iftar. The pre-dawn meal is called suhoor. Worship and Charity In addition to fasting, Muslims engage in extra prayers and read the Qur'an. Charity (called Zakat and Sadaqah) is also a key part of Ramadan, with many Muslims giving to those in need. Eid al-Fitr At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a festive holiday marked by prayers, feasting, and giving thanks.
Ramadan is a time of spiritual growth, reflection, and generosity, where Muslims focus on purifying both the body and soul.
