The holy month of Ramadan is an important time for Muslims. The fasting ritual lasts for about 30 days and is observed by abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours.

The fasting period begins at dawn with a pre-dawn meal called the Sehri meal, usually eaten before sunrise but can be taken up to two hours before that time. Fasting continues until sunset when Muslims break their fast with a three-course meal called the iftar.

Ramadan is also a time to reflect on one's actions and thoughts during the previous year. It's a time for self-reflection and spiritual growth through increased devotion to prayer, good deeds, charity, and reading the Quran.
