Why Ramadan is significant
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and one of the most important periods of worship in Islam.
Month of the Quran
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, so recitation, reflection and learning hold special importance.
Charity & Generosity
Giving to those in need, feeding fasting people and increasing voluntary charity are strongly encouraged.
Laylat al-Qadr
The Night of Decree in the final ten nights is described in the Quran as better than a thousand months.
