Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. A commemoration of the Prophet Mohammed’s first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.
