Ramzan In Bengaluru: Check 'Sehri', 'Dhuhr', 'Iftar' Timings For 30 Days In Ramadan 2024

Ramadan is the holiest month for Muslims that marks the commemoration of the Quran's revelation. In this sacred period, they fast from dawn to dusk, fostering spiritual growth, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate.

Considered as the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, Ramadan's timing changes annually due to the lunar year's shorter duration compared to the solar year. The month traditionally begins and ends with the sighting of the new moon, although some Muslims now adhere to predetermined dates based on astronomical calculations.

For Muslims, it's a time of intensified devotion, characterized by increased Quranic recitation and special prayers. While fasting is obligatory for most, exemptions are granted for individuals such as pregnant women, the sick, and children.

The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the lunar calendar and the sighting of the crescent moon, causing its start date to shift annually by approximately ten days according to the Gregorian calendar. This variability in the beginning of Ramadan is influenced by geographical locations, impacting the sighting of the moon globally.
