Importance and Significance of Ramadan
Ramadan is the most precious month in the Islamic Hijri calendar. It is a period of fasting and spiritual growth, and is one of the five “pillars of Islam.” The fast is intended to remind Muslims of the suffering of those less fortunate and bring believers closer to Allah. Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down, as a guide to mankind. The importance and significance of Ramadan has been emphasized in Al Quran and Hadith a number of times.
