April marks beginning of the spiritual month of Ramadan

On April 12, people around the world began observing the Islamic tradition of Ramadan, which is celebrated on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is a time for Muslims to reflect, fast, pray and build their relationships with God. The ninth month is believed to be when the Prophet Muhammad had a revelation about the Quran, the holy book of Islam. This revelation is commemorated through Ramadan.
