In the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the world celebrate Ramadan, an event of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Imagine waking up before sunrise to share a meal, called "Suhoor" with your family. Then, for the rest of the day until the sunset, you fast. No food, no drink, not even water! This is how Muslims express their gratitude and seek forgiveness. At sunset, families gather to break their fast with a meal known as "Iftar". It s a time of joy, sharing, and thankfulness. Ramadan concludes with a grand celebration called "Eid al-Fitr" - a festive time filled with feasting, presents, and community togetherness. Through Ramadan, Muslims grow spiritually, build stronger community bonds, and experience the joy of giving.
