Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and it is observed by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The start and end dates of Ramadan vary each year, as they are based on the lunar calendar. In 2025, Ramadan is expected to begin on Tuesday, March 25th, and end on Thursday, April 23rd.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset each day. They also refrain from smoking, drinking, and engaging in sexual activity. The fast is intended to help Muslims focus on their spiritual development and to come closer to God. Ramadan is also a time for Muslims to give back to their communities, and many people volunteer their time or donate to charity during the month.
