Ramadan holds immense importance in Islam as a sacred month dedicated to fasting, spiritual reflection, and heightened devotion, serving as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is a period for Muslims to focus on their connection to God (Allah), seeking forgiveness, developing self-discipline and empathy for the less fortunate [1]. Through abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until dusk, believers practice patience (sabr), humility, and gratitude, while simultaneously purifying their soul and body. The month also commemorates the initial revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, making increased study and recitation of the holy text a central practice [1]. Charitable giving (Zakat and Sadaqah) and community iftar (breaking fast) meals foster a strong sense of unity and collective devotion among Muslims worldwide.

Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
[Quran 97:1-5]
