For Muslims, it is a spiritually charged and blessed time. Ramadan is inextricably tied to the revelation of the Qur\u2019an: During a spiritual retreat to the mountains of Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad received the first divine revelation on the 27th night of Ramadan. An entire Surah is dedicated to the event Muslims commemorate every year throughout the \u201cNight of Decree\u201d, also known as \u201cLailatul Kadr\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Muslims fast<\/h2>\n<p>During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from food and other worldly joys from dawn to dusk. However, fasting does not only mean to forgo food but to abstain from any bad habit such as cursing, quarrelling, etc. It is only through that inner dimension that the fast reaches its full potential as a bodily and spiritual cleansing. <\/p>\n<div class=\"igmg-box igmg-facts\">\n<div><b>9th<\/b><span>month of the Islamic calendar<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b>27th<\/b><span>night: Lailatul Kadr<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b>Dawn\u2013dusk<\/b><span>daily fast<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_inline_image tdi_13 tdm-content-horiz-center td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_13\" >\n<style>\n\n\/* inline tdc_css att - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n.tdi_13{\nmargin-bottom:28px !important;\n}\n\n<\/style>\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  margin-bottom: 0;\r\n                  line-height: 0;\r\n                  overflow: hidden;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .tdm-inline-image-wrap{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  display: inline-block;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .td-image-video-modal{\r\n                  cursor: pointer;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .tdm-caption{\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  font-family: Verdana, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, \"Open Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif;\r\n                  padding-top: 6px;\r\n                  padding-bottom: 6px;\r\n                  font-size: 12px;\r\n                  font-style: italic;\r\n                  font-weight: normal;\r\n                  line-height: 17px;\r\n                  color: #444;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image.tdm-caption-over-image .tdm-caption{\r\n                  position: absolute;\r\n                  left: 0;\r\n                  bottom: 0;\r\n                  margin-top: 0;\r\n                  padding-left: 10px;\r\n                  padding-right: 10px;\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);\r\n                  color: #fff;\r\n                }.tdi_13{\r\n                    width: 100%;\r\n                }.tdi_13 .tdm-inline-image-wrap:hover:before{\r\n                    opacity: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_13 .tdm-image{\r\n\t\t\t\t\tborder-color:  #eaeaea;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"tdm-inline-image-wrap \" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tdm-image td-fix-index\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramadan-koran-oellampe.jpg\"  title=\"Aufgeschlagener Koran neben einer \u00d6llampe\" alt=\"Aufgeschlagener Koran neben einer \u00d6llampe\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_14 igmg-content tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_14\" ><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><h2>The individual and collective meaning of Ramadan<\/h2>\n<p>In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, one can easily lose track of the actual meaning of existence. Ramadan, however, sharpens this perception through intense occupation with the Qur\u2019an, consciously performed acts of worship, and disciplining the lower self. Ramadan is an opportunity to rekindle one\u2019s relationship with God. Especially during the last ten days, many Muslims follow the Prophet\u2019s example and retreat to the mosque. <\/p>\n<p>Community is a vital aspect of Ramadan. The mosque is the center of many events such as daily recitations and the performance of Tarawih, a special evening prayer held only in Ramadan. <\/p>\n<p>Before the congregation gathers in the mosque, families break their fast at home. Many invite relatives or friends. Numerous communities all over Europe hold Iftar dinners to which everyone, regardless of his or her religious affiliations, is invited. Such get-togethers are great opportunities to meet and make new friends. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_column tdi_16  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span4\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_16{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_16 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_16 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_16 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_16 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_16 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_17  tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_17\" ><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><style>.igmg-content h2,.igmg-content h3{font-family:'PT Serif',serif!important;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:0 0 16px}.igmg-content h2{font-size:28px;line-height:1.3}.igmg-content h3{font-size:22px}.igmg-content p,.igmg-content li{font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:25px;color:#222}.igmg-content p+h2,.igmg-content ul+h2,.igmg-content ol+h2{margin-top:36px}.igmg-content p+h3,.igmg-content ul+h3,.igmg-content ol+h3{margin-top:28px}.igmg-subnav{background:#f4f4f4;padding:28px 30px;border-top:3px solid #009972}.igmg-subnav h4{font-family:'PT Serif',serif;font-size:20px;margin:0 0 14px;color:#222}.igmg-subnav ul{list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.igmg-subnav li{margin:0;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd}.igmg-subnav li:last-child{border-bottom:0}.igmg-subnav a{display:block;padding:10px 0;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#222;text-decoration:none}.igmg-subnav a:hover{color:#009972}<\/style>\n<div class=\"igmg-subnav\">\n<h4>Islam<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.igmg.org\/en\/?page_id=873489\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quran<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.igmg.org\/en\/?page_id=873486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faith<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.igmg.org\/en\/?page_id=873491\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"display:block;padding:10px 0;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#009972\">Ramadan<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.igmg.org\/en\/?page_id=873495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday Khutbah<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-873493","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/873493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873493"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/873493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":874420,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/873493\/revisions\/874420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
