Understanding The Essence Of Ramadan

Ramadan commemorates the period approximately 1,400 years ago when the Prophet Muhammad received the initial revelations of the Quran during Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power). As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the month is defined by:

Self-Restraint: Abstaining from food, drink and other physical needs from dawn (Suhoor) until sunset (Iftar).

Purification: Focusing on spiritual growth, nightly Taraweeh prayers, and the recitation of the holy book.

The month concludes with Eid ul-Fitr, a joyful festival featuring communal prayers, grand feasts, and social reunions.

During this month, a special prayer called Taraweeh are offered in mosques in the evening. In this prayer, the entire Quran is recited and it continues till the sighting of the Eid moon.
