In every religion, certain days, months and teej-festivals have special significance. As Ramadan, Navratri begins in the month of Chaitra in Hinduism, it is considered sacred. Similarly, in Muslim religion, Ramadan is considered to be the holy month of worship of God. It is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. In this month, Muslims fast from the sun rising to the sunset. Ramadan is called the month of Barakat in The Muslim religion. Muslims earn reward by fasting, praying and doing good deeds during Ramadan. There is a gap of about 14-15 hours between Sahari and Iftar in Ramadan. In the meantime, nothing is eaten or drunk.
