About Ramadan:  
Muslims make up over 25% of the global population. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is observed by Muslims all over the world as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During this holy month that commemorates Prophet Muhammad’s first revelation, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. In Muslim countries, after breaking their fast (iftar), Muslims spend their time in spiritual devotion. Muslims in the U.S. reflect the diversity found in the faith all over the world: from African, Arab, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Southeast Asian countries.

In Muslim countries, markets and bazaars come to life at night. Ramadan night markets offer a space for Muslims to socialize during the month and shop in preparation for Eid-ul Fitr, the feast celebrated at the end of the holy month. Ramadan night markets are a significant source of income for small businesses and street vendors, providing a boost to local economies.
