Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. It is celebrated as the month in which the Prophet Mohammed [peace be upon him] received the first revelations that make up the Quran. The annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month-long celebration commemorates Allah [peace be unto him], the Arabic name for God.
