Exploring the Significance and Traditions of Ramadan

The video explains Ramadan, a significant month for Muslims, marked by fasting, prayer, and reflection. It follows the lunar calendar, causing it to shift annually. Fasting, or Siyam, is a key practice, promoting self-discipline and empathy. Not everyone is required to fast, such as children and the sick. Ramadan is also a time for charity and giving up bad habits. The Night of Power, a special night in the last 10 days, offers immense spiritual rewards. Ramadan ends with the sighting of the Crescent Moon, leading to the Eid celebration, marked by gatherings, new clothes, and gifts.
