Ramadan (which is likely to start on March 23 this year) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity giving and self–accountability for Muslims around the world.
The Quran was revealed to the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) heart in this month.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast (abstain from foods and drinks) from sunrise to sunset.
They also devote a considerable amount of time during this month to reading and contemplating the Quran.
Every year in Ramadan, Egyptian qaris are sent to countries around the world in Ramadan for recitation of Quran and attending Quranic programs.
