The month lasts 29â30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon, according to numerous biographical accounts compiled in the hadiths. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramiá¸a or ar-ramaá¸, which means scorching heat or dryness.
Ramadan is considered as the holiest season in the Islamic year and commemorates the time when the Quâran (Islamic holy book) is said to have been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. This occurred on Laylat Al-Qadr, one of the last 10 nights of the month.
