Ramadan 2024: What A Christian Can Do

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the holy month of fasting for Muslims. It is the month that, according to Islam, the first book of the Qu'ran was revealed to Mohammed. For the month of Islam, Muslims fast from sun up to sun down, breaking the fast with the nightly iftar meal. Traditionally, the fast is broken by eating three dates following the example of Mohammed. The 27th night of Ramadan is Laylat al-Qadr or the Night of Power. This year Ramadan begins on March 10th and ends April 8th.
