What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Hijri calendar and the month of obligatory fasting, during which Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset. The Quran was first revealed in it, and it contains Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Decree, better than a thousand months. It lasts 29 or 30 days and ends with Eid al-Fitr.
How is the date determined?
Dates here are calculated astronomically per the Umm al-Qura standard used in Saudi Arabia. Some countries rely on direct moon sighting instead, so the actual date can differ by about one day between regions.
