Ramzan or Ramadan is the Islamic calendar’s ninth month. Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations including the first verses of the Quran, the sacred book of Islam, during this month. Muslims celebrate this holy month by fasting from dawn till dusk. Fasting is one of Islam’s Five Pillars, which govern how Muslims should spend their lives.
