Ramzan (also spelled Ramadan) is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered one of the holiest months for Muslims. During this month, Muslims observe fasting (Sawm), refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset. It is a time for spiritual reflection, increased devotion, prayer, and charity. The fast is broken at sunset with a meal called "Iftar," and the pre-dawn meal before the fast begins is called "Suhoor." Ramzan is also a time when the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), making it especially significant for Muslims. The month concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a festive holiday marking the end of fasting.
