Ramadan, the holiest month on the Islamic calendar, begins around March 10.
Muslims worldwide believe this is the month in which God revealed the first verses of the Quran to the prophet Muhammad.
For about 30 days, those who observe will fast from sun-up to sundown. Ramadan holds deep significance as a period of spiritual discipline, reflection, and community.
