EarthDiverse wishes everyone a joyous and fulfilling Ramadan!
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and time spent with community. It commemorates the Prophet Muhammad's first revelation, and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.
Fasting from dawn to sunset is obligatory for all adult Muslims (with some exceptions). The nightly feast that breaks the fast is called iftar. Muslims devote themselves instead to prayer and study of the Quran.
