Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

The date changes each year because Islam uses the lunar calendar (based on the cycles of the Moon), so it isn’t a fixed date in the Gregorian or solar calendar.

Ramadan is considered important because it is to mark when the Quran, the Muslim holy book, was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad.

Many Muslims will try and read as much of the Quran as possible during Ramadan.

Ramadan is also a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds, and spending time with family and friends.

Normally, people will make a special effort to connect with their communities and reach out to people who need help.
