Ramadan is observed during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months, each of which lasts for 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the moon. As a result, the timing of Ramadan shifts earlier by approximately 11 days each year relative to the Gregorian calendar.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset every day for the entire month. This fast includes abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours. It is considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the foundation of Muslim life and faith.
