Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting, signifies the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is honored by Muslims worldwide. The commencement of this holy period is determined by Saudi Arabia’s moon sighting committee. This year, the Ramadan crescent moon was spotted in Saudi Arabia on the evening of March 10, prompting Muslims in the country to begin fasting from Monday, March 11. In India, the moon was sighted on March 11, hence fasting commenced on March 12.
Spanning between 29 to 30 days, Ramadan holds significant importance as one of the most revered observances in the Muslim community annually. Throughout this period, adherents devote themselves to fasting, prayer, engaging in charitable acts to serve the community, and engaging in introspection.
Ramadan commemorates the initial revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, marking it as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. These pillars encompass Shahada (declaration of faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (charitable giving), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage).
During this sacred month, all adult Muslims are obliged to observe fasting for almost four weeks and two days. Exceptions are made for travelers, individuals with severe illnesses, the elderly, pregnant women, menstruating women, and those with diabetes, who are not required to fast.
