The arrival of Ramadan, also known as Ramzan or Ramazan, marks the most propitious time of the year for Muslims worldwide. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is celebrated with great splendor and is regarded as a period of hope, prayer, fasting, reflection, and community. The Ramadan fast is a significant pillar of Islam, and the month is considered a time of blessings, forgiveness, and spiritual rejuvenation. Muslims eagerly await Ramadan as an opportunity to strengthen their faith through prayer, recitation of the Quran, and other spiritual practices. The Islamic calendar has 354 days, so Ramadan falls 10 or 11 days earlier each year than the solar Georgian calendar used by the rest of the world.
