Ramadan (start)
Ramadan
The ninth month. The Qur’an was first sent down in it. Adult Muslims who are able fast from Fajr to Maghrib: no food, drink, or marital relations in the daylight. The name comes from a root of heat and burning away — sins, ego, wasted hours.
How the month moves
Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter, Ramadan walks through every season in a lifetime. No country is stuck with the longest fast forever. Suhoor is Fajr; Iftar is Maghrib. Follow your city page for those clocks, and your mosque for the hilal.
