The holy month of Ramadan is here. The festivities have also begun in full force. It is a fardh or farz (duty) of every good Muslim to observe the ritualistic fasts. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calender. The word 'Ramadan' comes from the Arabic word 'ramida' or 'ar-ramad', which means scorching heat or dryness
The fasts are kept through the daylight. And the meals are consumed only twice a day, before sunrise (Sehri), and after sunset (Iftar). In the evenings, families gather and break their fast together.
