Originating in 624 BCE in Medina, Ramadan is a significant observance

Ramadan shifts annually by 10 to 12 days due to the lunar Islamic calendar

Muslims perform Tarawih, special nightly prayers, in addition to the five daily prayers during Ramadan

Suhoor(pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (evening meal) vary across cultures during Ramadan. Culinary traditions range from simple dates and water to elaborate feasts

The Night of Power(Laylatul Qadr)in the last 10 nights is the holiest, surpassing a thousand months in significance. A time for heightened spiritual activity, it holds special importance during Ramadan
