Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset (they do not eat or drink), and increase their spiritual connection. The article highlights the significance of Ramadan for Muslims. To mark the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr. 

The Teaching Against Islamophobia resources were developed with funding support from the Law Foundation of BC, and the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies at SFU.
