In 2021, Ramadan, the month of fasting, runs from 12/13 April to 13 May. Today, many Muslims worldwide are genuinely seeking God and are opposed to violence, seeking peace, and observing Ramadan as a means to demonstrate their devotion to Allah. Many do not know the Quran and are ignorant of the violence advocated in the Quran.
However, the situation is significantly different in Islamic countries where there are small populations of Christians.
Background
Ramadan is traditionally the ninth month of the Islamic calendar (which is a lunar calendar with 354 or 355 days in the year), determined from the sighting of one crescent moon to the next. It is the month in which the Quran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad. The Islamic calendar also determines when various religious festivals can be celebrated.
