Ramadan Celebrations from Around the World 2024

During Ramadan, Muslims worldwide celebrate by engaging in nightly prayers and refraining from eating, drinking, and certain activities from sunrise to sunset.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, holds special significance, as it's believed to be when the Quran's first verse was revealed. This period, especially its last 10 nights, is considered immensely sacred, symbolizing a night of worship equivalent to a thousand months. It marks the start of revelations from God to the Prophet Muhammad, facilitated by the angel Gabriel.
