Ramadan is the holiest month in Islam, observed by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. From dawn to sunset, Muslims abstain from food and drink as an act of worship, focusing on self-discipline, gratitude, and compassion for others. The month also emphasizes increased prayer, charity, and the strengthening of moral character, reminding believers of their responsibility to live with faith, humility, and care for humanity.

Because Islam follows a lunar calendar, the start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon, causing the month to shift earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.

🎉 Eid al-Fitr: expected on Friday, 20 March 2026 or Saturday, 21 March 2026 (depending on the moon sighting that marks the beginning of Shawwal).
