June seventh will mark the beginning of 9th Lunar month in the Islamic Calendar known as Ramaḍān, although some Muslims consider June 6th to be the beginning of the month. It is the month when Muslims worldwide embark on a month-long fasting journey to spiritually connect them with their Lord. It is stated in the Holy Qurʾān: “The month of Ramaḍān is the month in which the Qurʾān was revealed; a guide for the people, the most authoritative of all guidance and a criteria to discern right from wrong. Anyone of you who knows that the month of Ramaḍān has begun, he must start to fast. Those who are sick or on a journey have to fast the same number of days at another time, as God does not want to impose any hardship upon you. He wants you to have comfort so that you may complete the fast…” [Al-Qurʾān 2:185]
