Understanding the Ramadan Holiday<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Greetings<\/p>\n

Understanding the significance and practices of Ramadan will help you choose the best greetings to share with friends, family, and colleagues. <\/span>Ramadan<\/strong><\/span><\/a> honors the time when God first unveiled the Quran (also spelled Koran) to the Prophet Muhammad. It\u2019s one of the five pillars of Islam. Ramadan is a time when observers focus on practicing self-discipline and deepening their relationship with God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramadan, also known as Ramzan, Ramadhan, or Ramazan, takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which is a lunar calendar (meaning the months are based on the moon cycles). By contrast, the 12-month Gregorian calendar that most people follow is based on the movement of the sun. The month of Ramadan starts with the new moon and ends with the next crescent moon \u2014 or after 30 days of fasting if the sighting committee doesn\u2019t spot the moon. The actual start and end dates can vary depending on if the moon is obscured.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the holy month of Ramadan, healthy adult observers fast from sunrise to sunset. The morning meal is called suhoor, while the evening meal that breaks the fast after dusk is called iftar. Many greetings for Ramadan include references to the fast. The holy month ends with Eid al-Fitr as observers celebrate the past month of fasting and reflection by donating to charity and spending time with loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n
