Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is the month of mercy, forgiveness, and salvation for Muslims and everyone eagerly awaits its arrival. This month teaches spiritual worship, closeness to God, and service to humanity.
During this period, healthy adult Muslims are required to abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset.
