What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast or do not eat or drink during the daytime. Ramadan starts on a slightly different date everywhere and this is depending on the sighting of the moon. The Muslims do not follow the Georgian Calendar. In fact they follow the lunar year based on the cycle of the moon.

Once Ramadan starts, Muslims should not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. This usually continues for 29 or 30 days. If you want to learn more about Ramadan For Kids do checkout https://kids.kiddle.co/Ramadan its an excellent site for kids.

Why do Muslims Fast?

Fasting is one of the 5 fundamental pillars of Islam. The holy book of Muslims, Quran was revealed during the month of Ramadan. Fasting is supposed to teach Muslims about patience and spiritual things. It is a time for Muslims to think about how the poor and homeless suffer without lots of food, it helps Muslims to be more obedient, and less greedy. During Ramadan, Muslims ask to be forgiven for their sins, and they pray for help in stopping them from doing bad things.

Activities Performed During Ramadan

Fasting
Zakat and sadqa (Giving charity to the poor)
Taraweh (Special prayers at night time)
Reading the Quran
Staying humble and doing good deeds

When the Ramadan month ends after 29 or 30 days (depending on the lunar cycle), the Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr (Festival of the breaking of the fast).

What is Eid-ul-Fitr?

On Eid-ul-Fitr it is prohibited to fast. Muslims wake up early in the morning and dress up in pretty clothes and go for Eid Namaz (Prayers). They celebrate by inviting each other over and having lunches and dinner together. The elders of the family give Eidi (money) as a gift to the young kids of the family. Gift exchanges also take place. It is a day of true celebrations.
