Ramadan: Month-long fasting event in Islam
Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer (salah), reflection, and community. Occurring during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, it is a commemoration of Muhammad's first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.
