Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and is regarded as one of the most sacred times for worship among Muslims around the globe. This month lasts for either 29 or 30 days, depending on the moon’s sighting, and it moves forward by about 11 days each year because the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, unlike the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used worldwide.
