    Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide through fasting from dawn to sunset. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and is meant to bring practitioners closer to God through increased worship, reflection, and good deeds. Typical Ramadan activities include reciting the Quran, breaking fast at sunset with iftar meals, and optional late-night prayers. The last ten nights are especially important, as one of them, Laylat al-Qadr, is said to be better than a thousand months of worship. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan with special prayers, charitable giving, and festive gatherings with family and community.
