Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is one of the most sacred time for Muslims. This year, Ramadan will take place from the evening of March 22 to the evening of April 20. During this month, Muslims observe a daily fast from dawn until sunset. This month is also filled with worship, service, communal gathering and spiritual development.
