Today, the month of Ramadan has started in Kosovo, or the month when Muslim believers from birth to sunset give up their food and drink.
The start date of Ramadan every year dates back to 11 days. The reason for this is because the Islamic calendar is based on the moon's cycles, and the Georgian calendar (which most Western world states use) is based on the sun.
Because both calendars do not match each other, there is an 11 - day change each year.
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. There's no certain amount of days. The lunar calendar reflects the moon's cycles and tries to adapt to a 12 - cycle solar calendar.
Ramadan is the name of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The word “Ramazan” is derived from the Arabic word ramida or gold-ramad, meaning “to be burned by heat or drought”.
