S2E32 | Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr: A Season of Spiritual Renewal and Celebration

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, represents one of the most sacred periods for Muslims worldwide. This holy month, followed by the joyous celebration of Eid al-Fitr (also known as Ramadan Bayram in Turkey and some other regions), creates a season of profound spiritual significance, communal harmony, and personal growth for over 1.8 billion Muslims across the globe. The observance of Ramadan dates back to the seventh century, when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad, making it a practice with deep historical roots that continues to thrive in contemporary society.
