Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is a time dedicated to fasting, prayer, and charitable acts.

Healthy adult Muslims are required to abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset, focusing on spiritual growth and community service.

Eid ul-Fitr, which marks the conclusion of Ramadan, is anticipated to fall on either March 30 or March 31, depending again on the sighting of the Shawwal moon.

This joyous festival is celebrated with communal prayers, festive meals, and the giving of alms to those in need, emphasizing gratitude and unity among Muslims.

The Islamic calendar is lunar, causing these dates to shift approximately 10 days earlier each year, which means Ramadan and Eid will occur in different seasons over time.

Local and global moon-sighting committees will meet closer to these dates to confirm the moon sightings, symbolizing the unity of Muslims around the world.
