About Ramadan

9th Month of the Muslim Calendar
Based on a lunar calendar and therefore varies every year.

It is a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds, charity, spending time with loved ones. It teaches self-discipline, self-restraint, generosity and understanding of those less fortunate.
