As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims around the world are preparing for a time of spiritual reflection and devotion.
In 2025, Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of February 28 or March 1, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon, an important Islamic tradition.
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is observed through fasting, prayer, and charitable deeds. From dawn to sunset, healthy adult Muslims abstain from food and drink, focusing instead on spiritual growth, self-discipline, and acts of kindness.
The holy month concludes with Eid ul-Fitr, a joyous celebration anticipated on March 30 or 31, based on the sighting of the Shawwal moon. This festival is marked by communal prayers, festive meals, and the giving of alms to support those in need.
Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr embody values of gratitude, compassion, and unity, fostering a sense of community among Muslims worldwide.
