Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and it has special significance for Muslims worldwide. It is a time of active religious observance through fasting and prayer, and spiritual reflection. During this month, many Muslims place additional emphasis on faith, family, and community. Ramadan begins and ends at a different time each year as it follows a lunar calendar. The end of the month is marked by a celebration known as Eid Al-Fitr (sometimes spelled Eid-ul-Fitr).
