This week marked the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of spiritual reflection, devotion and self-discipline for Muslims around the world. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and it is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer and charitable giving.
The start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, which marks the beginning of the new lunar month. This year, Ramadan began on the evening of March 22nd and will continue for 30 days when the sighting of the next crescent moon will signal the end of the month.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs from dawn until sunset. This is done to demonstrate devotion to Allah and to attain spiritual purity. The fast is broken each evening with a meal known as iftar, often shared with family and friends. This time of the day is also used to perform extra prayers and recitation of the Quran.
Beyond its spiritual significance, research has shown that fasting during Ramadan can have significant health benefits for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Fasting has been found to promote weight loss, improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood pressure.
