Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of Ramadan wishes get shared here, given how differently the sample lines below read?
The tone actually spans quite a range on this page, from devotional reflections on fasting to more offhand personal anecdotes about living through the month, since Ramadan touches daily life at many different levels for people who observe it. What ties them together is Ramadan's core practice — a month of fasting, prayer, and heightened discipline — rather than any single style of message.
What is Ramadan and when is it expected to begin in 2027?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar (Hijri) calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Because the Islamic calendar follows the moon, the start of Ramadan is confirmed only by the sighting of the new crescent moon, so the date shifts roughly 10-11 days earlier each Gregorian year. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around February 8, though the precise start remains subject to moon sighting.
One of the quotes here mentions ISIS and terrorist attacks — why is that included on a Ramadan wishes page?
That line — "The head of ISIS called for attacks during the season of Ramadan, which is what you have seen both in Orlando and now in Istanbul at the airport." — is included as a piece of real-world news commentary that happened to reference the Ramadan calendar, not as anything endorsing or celebrating that violence. It's worth reading strictly as factual observation about events that were reported in the news; it has nothing to do with Ramadan's actual spiritual meaning, which centers on fasting, self-restraint, and devotion, and the surrounding content on this page keeps that distinction clear.
Why do Muslims fast during this month?
Fasting during Ramadan, known as Sawm, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, obligatory for adult Muslims of sound health. From dawn (Fajr) to sunset (Maghrib), observant Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs. The practice is meant to cultivate self-discipline, taqwa (God-consciousness), gratitude, and empathy for those who face hunger and hardship year-round.
Do any of these lines talk about the difficulty of fasting itself?
Yes, a couple speak candidly about how demanding the month can be alongside daily responsibilities: "For me, Ramadan is not an easy time because it's a time when I need to work much harder, because I need to help my teammates. That's the way I see things." and, on a lighter note about how outsiders perceive the fast, "The people that I grew up with had no problem with my faith. They did, however, seem very concerned that I would starve to death during Ramadan."
What are Suhoor and Iftar?
Suhoor is the meal eaten before dawn to sustain the day's fast, while Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast at sunset, traditionally begun with dates and water in keeping with a practice attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. Iftar gatherings are often communal, bringing families, neighbors, and mosques together to share food after the day's fast.
Is Ramadan content here always serious in tone?
Mostly it stays reflective, though not every line shared under this topic is solemn — one quote takes a joking, everyday-life angle about social life during the month rather than addressing its religious meaning directly. Even so, the observance itself deserves to be treated with genuine respect, so if you're sending a wish rather than sharing a quote, it's worth leaning on the spiritual side of the month — patience, charity, prayer — over anything played for a laugh. For that framing, the Status page keeps closer to the devotional register.
What special acts of worship mark Ramadan besides fasting?
Nights during Ramadan often include Taraweeh, extended congregational prayers held after the night prayer, during which the Quran is frequently recited in full over the course of the month. The last ten nights hold particular significance, as they contain Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), believed to be the night the Quran's revelation began - considered better than a thousand months in worship.
How does Ramadan conclude, and what follows it?
Ramadan ends with the sighting of the next new moon, marking the start of Shawwal and the festival of Eid al-Fitr, the "festival of breaking the fast." Before Eid prayers, Muslims are expected to give Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable donation ensuring that those in need can also celebrate. Many people mark the close of the month by exchanging heartfelt messages - our Wishes collection offers ideas for greeting loved ones at this time.
How do people express the spirit of Ramadan through words and greetings?
Whether breaking fast with family or messaging friends afar, these wishes carry the spirit of the month. See our Al-Hijra wishes for the Islamic New Year as well.
