Ramadan is the most sacred Sky Bird month of the Islamic calendar, commemorating the appearance of the Archangel Jibril (Gabriel) to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the revelation to the Prophet of the opening verses of the Quran. Around the world, followers of Islam wait, in eager anticipation, for the onset of Ramadan, when they once again invest one month in fasting, repentance, introspection, charity, and spiritual reflection.
Basics
Ramadan (Ramzan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. From sunrise to sunset, every day of the month, the fast is observed by all Muslims who are sound in mind and body and are past puberty. Faithful observance of the fast is one of the five pillars of belief in Islam, and the devout are called upon to adhere to the tenets of the fast scrupulously.
Abstention
During the daylight hours, the faithful are urged to abstain absolutely, not only from all food and drink but also from succumbing to the temptation to fulfill other physical needs such as smoking, sexual activity, etc. Ramadan is about much more than mere deprivation of physical and psychological demands. Reconnecting with God, practicing self-discipline, renouncing negative behavior, almsgiving, and soul purification are integral parts of the month’s observance.
Morning to Evening
The fast begins with Al-Fajr (morning prayer) and ends every day at dusk with Al-Maghrib (prayer at sunset). During the month, this is a daily routine for devout Muslims. Specific categories are exempt from observing the fast – children who have not attained puberty, aged, pregnant women, nursing mothers, menstruating women, those who are not of sound mind, the sick, and travelers.
But, those exempt from observing the fast must feed at least one needy person every day or contribute alms equivalent to the meal cost for one person every day the fast is not observed. Fasting is a reminder of the deprivation experienced by millions of fellow human beings unsure of having even one square meal a day. The faithful praise God for his generosity and gladly share their God-given prosperity with the poor, the deprived, and the less privileged.
At Sunset
The word ‘iftar’ literally means ‘break the fast and is supremely appropriate to describe the breaking of the fast observed during daylight hours.

Traditionally, the fast is broken by eating dates and drinking a cup of yogurt or water (but this could differ from country to country). The tradition flows from the act of the Messenger of Allah, who used to break his fast with dates, or if there were no dates, with water.
Sharing
Breaking the fast at sunset is a family event and a community event. While the family may break their fasts in their home’s privacy, Iftar also has significance as a community event. A community of families meets together, transforming the meal into a social event, one to which the community’s less fortunate members are also made welcome. The spiritual rewards for acts of charity during the holy month of Ramadan are especially abundant. Mosques also set up free tents so that no faithful Muslim should be unable to break his day-end fast merely because of an impoverished situation or other compelling circumstances.
Ramadan Night Market
