History and Significance of Ramadan 2025

Ramadan is observed as a period of devotion and self-discipline. It is believed that the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during this holy month. This momentous occasion is commemorated with fasting, prayers, and self-restraint.

A highlight of Ramadan is Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, which is considered the holiest night of the year. According to Islamic belief, prayers and good deeds performed on this night carry blessings greater than those of a thousand months.

How is Ramadan Observed?

Muslims observe fasting (Sawm) from sunrise (Suhoor) to sunset (Iftar). During this time, they abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs. The fast is broken each evening with a meal called Iftar, often starting with dates and water, followed by a wholesome meal.

Ramadan is not only about fasting but also about increasing acts of worship, such as:

• Performing additional prayers, including Taraweeh at night.
• Reciting and reflecting on the Quran.
• Engaging in charity (Zakat and Sadaqah).
• Practicing self-discipline and kindness towards others.

Who is Exempt from Fasting in Ramadan?

While fasting during Ramadan is an obligation for all adult Muslims, there are exemptions for those who are:

• Sick or suffering from medical conditions
• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Travelling long distances
• Elderly and unable to fast
• Menstruating women

In such cases, individuals are encouraged to either make up for the missed fasts later or provide meals to those in need as compensation.
