"The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an — a guidance for the people."
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar — a 29 to 30 day period of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. It is observed by approximately 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, making it one of the most widely practised spiritual traditions on earth.
From dawn (Fajr) to sunset (Maghrib), Muslims fast from food, drink and all that distracts from worship. But Ramadan is far more than a fast — it is a season of heightened generosity, deeper devotion, and intentional giving.
This year, Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin around Saturday 28 February, concluding with the joyful celebration of Eid al-Fitr in late March.
