During the holy month of Ramadan, life in the UAE changes significantly. Big cities, like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and small settlements are moving to a different lifestyle.

One of the most important meanings of Ramadan is that it unites nearly 2 billion Muslims of the whole world. Individual practice takes on a much more powerful meaning due to its long history and scale of observation.

On the 21st day of Ramadan, the third Ashra or the last third of the holy month begins. The third part is devoted to safety from hell (Nijat).

The word Ramadan is the name of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

Ramadan, like any other month in the Islamic calendar, begins with a new moon. But the debate about exactly what moment to consider the beginning of the holy month each year begins anew.

According to Muslim beliefs, one of the nights of the last third of Ramadan is called Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power, Night of Destiny, Night of Decree, or Night of Value). The supplications made on this night will bring the greatest reward.

One of the traditions that the Muslims follow during Ramadan is the observance of Itikaf. Commonly believers practice Itikaf during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The blessed month of Ramadan is the month when Muslims seek to perform righteous actions, as the reward for them increases. One such practice is the performance of Umrah.
