Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which is considered the holy month of fasting where Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk. It is believed that the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the prophet Muhammad during this month. Fasting is obligatory for all adult Muslims during Ramadan to gain spiritual rewards and forgiveness from sins. The fast is broken each evening with a small meal before performing the evening prayer. Eid al-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast, marks the end of Ramadan and is a time of celebration and gift-giving.
