HISTORY OF RAMADAN ​ The word Ramadan originates from the Arabic root ‘ar-ramad' or ‘ramida', which means scorching heat or scarcity of rations. Ramadan is the holy month of fasting as ordained by the Quran for all Muslims who have reached puberty and who are able to keep it, and it is the fourth pillar of Islam. It falls on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and according to the Quran has been decreed to encourage all Muslims to be pious and charitable. It is a time of meditation, reflection and self-reformation, allowing people to renew and purify their faith. This month is particularly significant in the Islamic calendar as it was in this month that the first chapters of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him). ​ "Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, 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." Al-Baqara 2:185 This month is also momentous for another significant event, the Battle of Badr, which was the first battle between the Muslims of Medina and the pagans of Mecca. It was fought in 624 C.E in present-day Saudi Arabia, with the Muslims gaining victory, and is mentioned in the Quran and recorded in Hadiths.
