What Is Ramadan?
Ramadan (رمضان) is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and the holiest month in Islam. It commemorates the month in which the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
During Ramadan, Muslims observe Sawm — one of the Five Pillars of Islam — by fasting from dawn to sunset. This includes abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and other physical needs during daylight hours.
The month is also a time for increased prayer, charity (Zakat), self-reflection, and community gathering. The end of Ramadan is marked by the joyful celebration of Eid al-Fitr (عيد الفطر).

Ramadan Dates — 2000 to 2005
Because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, Ramadan moves approximately 11 days earlier each year.
✨ Laylat al-Qadr 2002 (Night of Power)
Laylat al-Qadr (ليلة القدر) is the holiest night in Islam, believed to be when the first verses of the Quran were revealed. It falls on one of the odd nights during the last 10 days of Ramadan — traditionally the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night. Worship on this night is considered better than a thousand months of worship (Quran 97:3).

How is the start of Ramadan determined?
The start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new crescent moon (hilal) marking the 1st of Ramadan. Some countries follow local moon sighting, while others use astronomical calculations or regional religious announcements.

Those exempt include children who have not reached puberty, the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, travelers on long journeys, those who are ill, and women during menstruation. Many must make up missed fasts later or provide fidyah, depending on their situation.
Why does Ramadan move to different dates each year?
