Why is Ramadan celebrated?

Ramadan is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a holy month to commemorate the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, and to practice fasting, prayer, reflection, and charity, which strengthens their connection with God and cultivates self-discipline and empathy.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that during this month, on the "Night of Power" (Laylat al-Qadr), God revealed the Quran to Prophet Muhammad as a guidance for humanity.

The end of Ramadan is marked by Eid al-Fitr, a joyous festival celebrating the breaking of the fast, with celebrations involving family, food, and generosity.
