The Significance of Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. A commemoration of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month lasts 29 to 30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon.

This holy month is a profound opportunity for Muslims to purify their souls, practice self-discipline, and sacrifice. Fasting is not merely about abstaining from food and drink from dawn until sunset; it is a holistic spiritual journey. It involves refraining from sinful acts, controlling one's temper, and devoting oneself to Allah (SWT) through extra prayers, such as Taraweeh, and the recitation of the Holy Quran. You can follow our Quran Section to read and listen to the divine verses daily.

Understanding Sehri (Suhoor)

Sehri, also known as Suhoor, is the pre-dawn meal consumed by Muslims before the Fajr prayer. It is a vital part of the fasting day, providing the energy needed to sustain the body throughout the daylight hours. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of Suhoor, stating, "Take Suhoor as there is a blessing in it."

The time for Sehri ends exactly at the beginning of Fajr time (True Dawn). It is highly recommended to finish eating at least 10 minutes before the Azan of Fajr as a precaution. Our calendar above provides the precise Fajr start times, which marks the absolute deadline for Sehri. Missing Suhoor can make fasting difficult, so it is encouraged to wake up, even if only for a few dates and water.

The Joy of Iftar

Iftar is the meal served at sunset to break the fast. It is a moment of immense joy, relief, and gratitude. Traditionally, Muslims break their fast with dates and water, following the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). This is followed by the Maghrib prayer and then a full meal.

Iftar is often a community event, with families, friends, and neighbors gathering to share food. It is also a time for charity (Sadaqah), where many provide Iftar meals to the less fortunate. The supplication (Dua) made at the time of Iftar is believed to be readily accepted by Allah, making it a powerful moment for spiritual connection.

Laylatul Qadr and the Last Ten Days

The last ten days of Ramadan are particularly spiritually significant. Muslims increase their worship, seeking Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree), which the Quran states is "better than a thousand months." Many Muslims observe Itikaf (seclusion in the mosque) during these days to focus entirely on worship, aiming to disconnect from worldly distractions and reconnect with their Creator.

As we approach this blessed month, use this calendar to plan your days effectively. Ensure you wake up for Sehri on time, recite the Quran, and prepare for Iftar with your loved ones. May this Ramadan bring peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth to all.
