The first day of Ramadan in 2025 is expected to fall on Tuesday, March 18th. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and it is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. Muslims around the world observe Ramadan by abstaining from food and drink from sunrise to sunset each day.
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, and it is considered to be a deeply spiritual time. Muslims believe that during Ramadan, their prayers are more likely to be answered and that they can earn forgiveness for their sins. Ramadan is also a time for community, as Muslims come together to break their fast each evening at the communal meal known as iftar.
