Ramadan - The Holy Month of Fasting
Ramadan is considered the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and marks the time when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. During Ramadan, Muslims observe a fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food and water, as well as any sinful acts. Fasting is an act of worship that Muslims believe purifies the soul and brings them closer to Allah. In addition to fasting, Muslims engage in additional prayers, recitation of the Quran, and acts of charity. The month of Ramadan concludes with the celebration of Eid.
Eid - The Festival of Breaking the Fast
Eid, also known as Eid al-Fitr, is celebrated on the first day of the month of Shawwal, which marks the end of Ramadan. The celebration of Eid begins with the sighting of the new moon, and Muslims all over the world come together to offer prayers, exchange gifts, and share meals with family and friends. The festival is a time of joy and celebration, and it is customary to wear new clothes and decorate homes.
