What Is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which many Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset each day.
During Ramadan, Muslims who fast start the day by eating a meal, called suhoor, before sunrise. The fast is then broken every night after sunset with a meal called iftar. The strictness of the fast varies among Muslims, and not every Muslim fasts during Ramadan.
