When To Use

What is Ramazan?

Ramazan is another name for Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which many Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset each day. The term Ramazan (pronounced with a z sound at the end) is especially used in countries where Arabic is not a main language, such as Pakistan and India.The word is also used to refer to the daily fast observed during this month.During Ramazan, Muslims who fast start the day by eating a meal, called suhoor, before sunrise. The fast is then broken every night after sunset with a meal called iftar. The strictness of the fast varies among Muslims, and not every Muslim fasts during the month. Children, elderly people, and people who have a health condition or are sick or pregnant are not required to fast, and often eat and drink during the day.Along with the daily fast and other forms of abstinence, many Muslims observe Ramazan by praying, attending services at their mosque, trying to give up bad habits, and performing charitable acts.The day after Ramazan ends, the festival known as Eid-al-fitr begins. Its name means “festival of the breaking of the fast.”
