The Islamic month of Ramadan is a time when Muslims across the world fast for 30 days.

The date of the ninth month in the Islamic calendar varies every year, as the calendar is based on the lunar cycle. As a result, Ramadan travels through the seasons of the Gregorian calendar.

The end of Ramadan is marked by the festival of Eid al-Fitr, when Muslims gather to give their thanks to God for a successful month.
