Ramadan is one of the most sacred month in the world.

Muslims believe it was during this month, God revealed the first verses of the  Quran.

During the entire month of Ramadan, Muslims fast every day from dawn to sunset. It is meant to be a time of spiritual

discipline — of deep contemplation of one’s relationship with God, extra prayer, increased charity and generosity, and

intense study of the Quran.

But if that makes it sound super serious and boring, it’s really not. It’s a time of celebration and joy, to be spent with loved

ones. At the end of Ramadan, there’s a big three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of the Breaking of the

Fast.

It’s kind of like the Muslim version of Christmas, in the sense that it’s a religious holiday where everyone comes together

for big meals with family and friends, exchanges present, and generally has a lovely time.

Happy Ramadan 2021
