Ramaḍān. The ninth month of the Islamic year, and the period of
ṣawm (fasting). It is mentioned in the
Qurʾān as a blessed month, ‘in which the Qurʾān was revealed’ (2. 185). It is a time also of greater prayer and devotion, and during the last ten days and nights many of the pious practise retreat (
iʿtikāf) in a
mosque. One of these nights, generally believed to be the 27th, is
Laylat al-Qadr (the ‘Night of Power’), holiest in all the year. The month of Ramaḍān ends with
Īd al-Fiṭr, feast of the breaking of the fast.
