- Ramadan follows a lunar calendar that’s shorter than the standard calendar, so it occurs at different times each year.
- Baig explains a typical day during Ramadan: you wake up before dawn and eat (if you need to) and fasting starts at dawn at Fajr (the first morning prayer). Before sunset, you gather with other Muslims and make food that everyone eats at sunset. Then, you say the Maghrib prayer at sunset, after eating. After the sun sets, you’re allowed to eat whatever you want until the next day at dawn.^{[10]

Can non-Muslims wish people a happy Ramadan? Yes, wishing someone a happy Ramadan shows your support, and being open to learning more can bring you closer to Muslims in your life. Ramadan is a month of goodwill and charity, and many Muslims would be very happy to share this special tradition with you.

What is not okay to say to someone during Ramadan? If someone isn’t fasting for Ramadan, avoid asking why. Fasting is a private matter, and asking about it can be pretty invasive. Be respectful whether or not the person is fasting. They’ll still appreciate an invitation to a coffee shop, but don’t be offended if they don’t drink anything.
- Stay away from talking about fasting as a way to lose weight. Remember that fasting during Ramadan is a spiritual activity, not a way to get slim for the summer.
- It’s okay to eat in front of someone fasting for Ramadan.
