Get ready, because Ramadan is here! It’s a special time for Muslims all over the world, starting on Tuesday, March 12 in India. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, which means no food or drink during the day.
The day starts with a pre-dawn meal called Suhur, and then when the sun sets, it’s time for Iftar, which usually starts with dates and water to break the fast. It’s a time for prayer, reflection, and spending time with family and community.
Ramadan lasts for a month, and it’s not easy to keep up with daily activities while fasting.
But it’s important to stay active and healthy. Resting and getting enough sleep is key, especially at the beginning when your body is adjusting to fasting.
The end of Ramadan is celebrated with Eid al-Fitr, a big feast called the “Feast of the Breaking of the Fast.” In Saudi Arabia, they look for the crescent moon to know when Ramadan starts and ends.
