March 22 marked the first day of Ramadan. Ramadan begins during the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar when the new crescent moon is first sighted. For the duration of the month, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset each day, perform meaningful rituals that illuminate their faith, exercise humility, and engage in self-reflection. 

This sacred month is a time for reflection and spiritual growth for Muslims across the world. Muslims come together to practice forgiveness and resilience, to show compassion and generosity, and to celebrate the many blessings of life with loved ones.
