Ramadan 2023: Significance of fasting during these 30 days before Eid al-Fitr

India TV News  

Ramadan, one of the unique months in the Islamic calendar, is regarded as one of the most important celebrations for Muslims. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, however, the exact dates shift each year due to Islam's use of a lunar calendar. When the moon sighting customs are followed, the month of Ramadan begins after sunset on day 29 of the month of Shaaban. Eid al-Fitr, one of Islam's main festivals, is celebrated on the final day of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan's month-long fast.
