Ramadan last for 29 to 30 days that is one month. The beginning and the end of Ramadan can only be decided when the crescent moon is sighted. Ramadan starts with the new moon. There is always a collision among Muslims to decide when would Ramadan begin and end? According to the Traditional method, mentioned in the holy book Quran it is to look at the sky and sight the crescent moon (hilal). This Sighting of the hilal marks the beginning of the Ramadan. Once the Ramadan beginning is decided the fasting starts. Muslims say no to food, drink, sexual activities and smoking during the daytime. They spend most of their time remembering Allah and reciting Ramadan prayers. Apart from the Daily five prayers Muslims also recite a special prayer called Taraweeh prayer also called the night prayer. Some of the Muslims spend their entire night Praying to Allah. During the entire month of Ramadan the Lailatul Qadr is the most special night for all the Muslims who fast. It is believed that Lailatul Qadr night falls during the last 10 days of Ramadan during the odd days like 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th. But many Muslims believe this night of power to be on 27th as it was originally on that day.
