Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان ) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The word Ramadan comes originally from the word ramd "to burn". The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. The name came from before the Islamic calendar creation, when the month of Ramadan started in the summer. Fasting during this month is often thought to symbolically burn away all sins.
Note: The symbol of Ramadan is the new moon which is sighted before Muslims start fasting, astrologically this year, Ramadan should be starting on Wednesday, however, Tuesday astrologers will look for the new moon incase it appears earlier.
Ramadan is the month of charity and generosity; it is about giving the poor and the needy, by offering one's time, efforts and donations.
HAPPY RAMADAN!!!
