Ramadan

The most famous festivals in the whole year for Muslims all across the world is Ramadan. It is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar.

For this reason, the date of Ramadan moves backward through eleven days every 12 months on the subject of the Gregorian calendar.

Ramadan marks the month that the Muslim holy book, the Qu’ran, turned into first found out to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims fast for the duration of daylight in the course of the complete month of Ramadan. This way that they now no longer consume or drink something withinside the hours of sunlight.
