Ramadan occurs once a year and the month and day varies from year to year. The sight of the crescent moon marks the start of Ramadan.
In 2006,September 24
Ramadan is a Muslim holiday and is observed in the ninth lunar month in the Muslim lunar calendar. It is believed that in this month that the Qu'ran was revealed to the prophet Mohammad.
During Ramadan, Muslims all over the world restrain themselves from:
food
drink
sexual contact and intercourse
smoke
The fast is done during daylight hours for 30 days.
What most people don't know is that Ramadan is more than refraining from food and drink, but the follower must not partake in gossip, unlawful activities or thoughts. Worshippers must not look at unlawful things. Of course, those who are ill or small children do not fast.
Ramadan is basically the spiritual cleansing of the soul through self restraint.
