What does it celebrate? ‘Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful…….’ (s2 v185) The time when the Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad. This time begins on the night the first verses were revealed, a night known as 'The Night of Power which falls within the last 10 days of the month.
