RAMADAN BEGINS (M)
About the First Day of the Holy Month of Ramadan
Ramadan Kareem! Ramadan Mubarak!
June 28 is the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan for Sh'ite Muslims and the 29th is the first day for Sunni Muslims.
The holy month of Ramadan occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. From before sunrise until sunset during the lunar month, (which falls 11 days earlier each subsequent year), devout Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex, and at all times try to abstain from gossip and other negative activities in order to focus on their relationship with God and strengthen their faith. Charity to and in service of others is a big part of Ramadan. Many global charities will offer matching funds to increase the impact of charitable giving during Ramadan.
