Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان) or Ramadan (Turkish: Ramazan) is a month of obligatory fasting for the Muslims (Saum), fasting in Ramadan is also called "Ramadan" and is traditionally regarded as one of the five foundations of faith (pillars of Islam). During the month of Ramadan, faithful Muslims in the daytime refuse to eat, drink, and have intimacy. The duration of the month is 29 or 30 days and depends on the lunar calendar. Fasting begins at the beginning of dawn (after the morning azan) and ends after sunset (after the evening azan).
Every day before fasting, Muslims pronounce the intention (niyat) in approximately the following form: "I intend to fast the month of Ramadan tomorrow (today) for the sake of Allah." Muslims preferably half an hour before dawn to finish the morning meal (Suhur) and start a conversation (Iftar) immediately after the time of conversation. It is recommended to talk with water, milk, dates, etc.
