Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 to 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God.
The holiday of Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and the first day of the following month.
The Ramadan Calendar gives you the dates for fasting and the timings for starting and breaking your fast. It also gives the prayer timings during the month of Ramadan.
