Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and is a time for Muslims to abstain from food, drink, and sexual relations from sunrise to sunset.
Ramadan begins with hilal, which is the Arabic word for crescent or "new moon".
The end of Ramadan is marked by Eid al-Fitr, which means "the feast of the breaking of the fast".
The last 10 days of Ramadan are spent searching for Lay lat ul Qadr, or "The Night of Power".
Children are required to fast when they reach puberty, but it's not recommended that they fast before then.
Pregnant women, the elderly, children, and those who are ill or traveling are not required to fast.
Despite the daily fasting, Ramadan is known for being a month of weight gain.
The fast is broken with dates and a glass of water at sunset, followed by a main meal called Iftar.
Hunger-busting drinks are a big part of Ramadan, and they are cooling and contain lots of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
Ramadan is known as the month of giving.
Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, is believed to occur during Ramadan and is when the Qur'an was first revealed to Muhammad.
