The
word Ramadan means “scorcher” in Arabic. Ramadan,
ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, the holy month
of fasting for adult Muslims. According to the Qur'an
(Koran), the sacred scripture of Islam, God requires the
fast of Ramadan so that believers “may cultivate
piety.” The month of Ramadan is particularly sacred
to Muslims because the Qur’an was first revealed
to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, during this month.
Fasting
during Ramadan is the fourth of the five pillars of
Islam, the essential religious duties of all adult Muslims.
These pillars are described in the Qur'an. Fasting,
according to the Qur'an, begins each morning when “the
white thread can be distinguished from the black thread
of dawn.” It continues until sunset. The time when
they fast break is called Iftar.
