Ramadan is a sacred time of year when Muslims embark on a personal journey of self-discipline and spiritual reflection. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. Unlike the solar Gregorian calendar, the Muslim calendar is lunar—11 to 12 days shorter. This year, Ramadan is March 10-April 9.
