Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. It is during this month that Muslims observe the Fast of Ramadan.

Dates for Ramadan 2008 (or 1429) are 01 - 30 September. 

The first evening of Ramadan:

In many places around the world Muslims will be looking to the heavens t in the eve of September 01. They will be interested in knowing if they will be able to see the crescent moon. If it is visible this will be the signal for the beginning of the month of Ramadan. (In most countries religious authorities will make a proclamation concerning the beginning of Ramadan). No fasting will take place till the next morning. Muslims will rise early to eat their breakfast before the day begins. Afterwards, they will not have anything else to eat or drink till nightfall. This will be their daily experience during the next 30 days.
