Ramadan: The Holy Month of the Islamic Calendar

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar and the holiest month of fasting in Islam. It begins and stops with the appearance of a crescent moon. The beginning of the Islamic month signifies Ramadan or Ramzan. The word “Ramadan” is derived from the Arabic suffix “ramad,” which means “to be scorchingly dry or deeply heated by the sun.” Good works, according to Muslims, are celebrated more generously during this Holy month than during any other time of the year.
