[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, holds immense spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. During this sacred month, observers engage in fasting from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs as a means of purifying the soul, fostering empathy, and deepening their connection with the divine.<\/p>\n

Ramadan and Fasting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ramadan fasting involves a complete abstinence from food and drink from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). This period typically spans around 12-16 hours, depending on geographical location and time of year.

It’s a time for Muslims to strengthen their relationship with Allah (God), seek forgiveness, and engage in acts of charity and kindness.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]
