Ramadan is the ninth and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual relations. They also devote more time to prayer, charity and good deeds, seeking to strengthen their faith and purify their souls.
One of the practices of Ramadan is to recite and study the Quran. Muslims aim to complete the reading of the entire Quran by the end of the month.
