What Is Ramadan?

Ramadan (ุฑู…ุถุงู†) 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 โ€” one of the Five Pillars of Islam โ€” 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 (ุนูŠุฏ ุงู„ูุทุฑ).

โœจ Laylat al-Qadr 2038 (Night of Power)

Laylat al-Qadr (ู„ูŠู„ุฉ ุงู„ู‚ุฏุฑ) 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 โ€” 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).

Frequently Asked Questions About Ramadan 2038

How is the start of Ramadan determined?
