Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer (salah), reflection, and community. Occurring during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, it is a commemoration of Muhammad’s first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next. Please let your students know that cafeteria staff will have lunch boxes for students to take home that are observing the fast during the day.
