Ramadan is a holiday that is celebrated in the ninth month on the Islamic Lunar Calendar. It is celebrated by many Muslims all around the world. During this month Muslims do not eat or drink during the daytime. The proper term for this sacrifice is called fasting. It is a time for people to focus on God. This holiday is also about more than just restraining yourself from food. It is about being holy in all aspects. You are to restrain yourself from talking back; you must not look at unholy things and other sorts of things like that. I understand this to be an important holiday to the Muslims because it is a time for them to cleanse themselves and bring themselves closer to the Lord. I chose to research this holiday because it is something that Americans are aware of but it is a holiday that most overlook and don’t take time to learn more about.
