Ramadan begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, with diverse dates across countries due to local sightings. Approximately 1.9 billion Muslims, constituting about a fourth of the global population, prepare for this holy month through fasting, reflection, and community engagement. Fasting during Ramadan entails the predawn meal (suhoor) and breaking the fast at sunset (iftar), commemorating the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad over 1,400 years ago. Ramadan greetings vary globally, with common phrases like "Ramadan Mubarak" in Arabic to celebrate its onset.
As the holy month begins, many Muslims are preparing for a period of fasting, reflection, and community, emphasizing the significance of Ramadan in their spiritual lives.
Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, which includes the declaration of faith, daily prayers, charity, and performing the Hajj pilgrimage when able.
