About Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar and is widely regarded by Muslims as the holiest month of the year. The name Ramadan derives from the Arabic root for scorching heat, originally referring to the summer heat in the pre-Islamic Arabian Peninsula. As the lunar calendar drifts, however, Ramadan now occurs in every season across the thirty-three-year cycle. The month is defined by the obligation of Sawm — the dawn-to-sunset fast from food, drink, smoking, and marital relations — observed by all adult Muslims who are physically able.
