Significance of Ramadan
Islam places a great deal on Ramadan, which marks the month that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations from the Quran, the sacred scripture of Islam. It is not just a religious holiday, it’s also a time for introspection, spiritual development, and increased compassion for the less fortunate. During this month, fasting from sunrise to sunset is an essential practice that promotes self-control, discipline, and gratitude.
