The Christian Prayer Guide to Ramadan: How do you react?

About Ramadan

The Islamic month of Ramadan - 30 days - is determined by the Muslim lunar calendar (corresponding to the lunar cycle from one crescent moon to the next).

The Muslim calendar is 354 days long and 'retreats' each year by 11 days compared to the Western Gregorian Calendar. Therefore the Muslim lunar months do actually shift annually over a complete 33-year cycle.

The Muslim numbering for years starts with Mohammad's leaving Mecca to live in Medina in AD622 - an event called the Hegira.

More information can be found on our 30-Days of Prayerweb site.
