The holy month of fasting from dawn to sunset. Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs during daylight hours, focusing on prayer, Quran recitation and spiritual growth. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and the month in which the Quran was revealed.

The "Night of Power" — better than a thousand months of worship. Believed to fall on one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan (most commonly the 27th). This is the night the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The "Festival of Breaking the Fast" marking the end of Ramadan. Begins with a special congregational prayer at sunrise, followed by celebrations with family and friends. Zakat al-Fitr (charity) must be given before the Eid prayer to purify the fast.

The "Festival of Sacrifice" honouring Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. Muslims who can afford it sacrifice an animal (Qurbani) and distribute the meat to family, friends and those in need — one-third each.

The most important day of Hajj — pilgrims gather on the plain of Arafah in du'a and supplication. For non-pilgrims, fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year. The day Allah perfected the religion of Islam.

The annual pilgrimage to Makkah — obligatory once in a lifetime for every Muslim who is physically and financially able. Pilgrims perform Tawaf around the Ka'bah, stand at Arafah, and complete the symbolic stoning of Jamarat. One of the Five Pillars of Islam.

Marks the start of the new Hijri year and commemorates the Hijrah — Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ migration from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE. A time of reflection on the passing year, gratitude, and setting spiritual goals for the year ahead.

Commemorates the day Allah saved Prophet Musa (AS) and the Israelites from Pharaoh by parting the Red Sea. Fasting on this day (plus the 9th or 11th) is highly recommended — the Prophet ﷺ said it expiates the sins of the previous year.

Celebrates the birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Many Muslim communities mark this with gatherings, poetry praising the Prophet, sharing of food and acts of charity. Observance varies by tradition — some scholars encourage it, others prefer not to mark it.

Commemorates the Prophet's ﷺ miraculous night journey from Makkah to Jerusalem (Isra) and his ascension through the seven heavens (Mi'raj). During this journey, the five daily prayers were prescribed for the Muslim Ummah.

The "Night of Fortune and Forgiveness." Many Muslims believe Allah determines the destiny of all people for the coming year on this night. Observed with extra prayers, Quran recitation and seeking forgiveness. A spiritual gateway into Ramadan.

Three days each lunar month when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged fasting on these days regularly. A simple, consistent Sunnah practice that builds spiritual discipline and reward throughout the entire year.
