Ramadan is the holy month in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) received the first revelation of the Holy Quran.

In Muslim tradition, Ramadan is a time of heightened commitment to piety and purification through special observances such as fasting, the performance of good deeds — including charitable giving and voluntary service — and through personal sacrifices of material comforts. These observances lead to spiritual fulfilment and a sense of renewal.
