On Thursday, March 23, Muslims around the world began fasting for the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, considered one of the holiest months for Muslims. It falls on a different date every year, depending on the cycles of the moon. This year, Ramadan started on the evening of March 22 and will end on the evening of April 21. This holy month is marked by a period of fasting or sawm, which is considered a pillar of Islam, alongside faith or shahada, prayer or salah, charity or zakat, and making the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca or hajj.
