Ramadan is a period of spirituality and strengthening for those who profess the Islamic religion.

This name comes from the Arabic root “ar-ramad”, which means scorching heat and according to tradition, its origin dates back to 610 A.D. when the angel Gabriel appeared to the prophet Mohammed and revealed to him the holy book of the Koran, during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

This month is characterized by long fasting during daylight hours, from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., at which time the first meal of the day (iftar) is eaten communally, with groups of worshippers gathering to break the fast, just after sunset (maghrib).
