    What It Is

    The first of Ramadan — the month in which the Qur'an was first revealed to Muhammad ﷺ. From dawn to sunset, the believer abstains from food, drink, and heedlessness; the nights are given to prayer and community.

    How to Observe It

    Whatever your tradition, honor this month by fasting from something — a habit, a screen, a resentment. Break your fast at sunset with gratitude.
