Ramadan is an annual celebration observed on dates determined by the lunar calendar.

In 2025, Ramadan takes place from February 28th through to March 29th.

Ramadan is a Muslim holiday observed during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Approximately 25% of the world’s population is Muslim, and the vast majority of those who practice observe the religious traditions associated with this holy month.

Muslims believe that it was during this month that the first parts of the Quran – the holy book of Islam – were revealed to the prophet Muhammad by Allah.

One of the most common means of observing Ramadan includes fasting from sunrise to sunset. Although young children, the elderly, and the infirm are exempt from the fast, many Muslim children will begin partaking in the tradition in their early teens.
