What is Ramadan?

​Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar. It is one of the holiest months in Islam in which Muslims around the world fast throughout it.

Ramadan (Ramaḍān) is taken from the word 'ramad,' which means that which is intensely or vehemently heated by the sun. ''When they changed the names of the months from the ancient language, they named them according to the seasons in which they fell, and this month fell in the days of intense heat and that is why it was named Ramaḍān.''
​

Qurtubi narrates, ''It (this month) was named Ramaḍān because it burns the sins of people with righteous deeds.’’
