Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on February 18, 2026, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.
Ramadan holds special significance as the month in which the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel). It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The last ten nights of Ramadan include Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is described in the Quran as "better than a thousand months." Muslims increase their worship, charity, and recitation of the Quran throughout this blessed month.
