Ramadan or Ramadan (in Arabic: رمضان) is the ninth month of the lunar Hijri (Islamic religious calendar systems). Throughout this month Moslems perform a series of religious activities including fasting, prayer tarawih, warning the decline of Al-Quran, seek Laylatul Qadr night, multiply reading the Quran and then end it by paying tithes and a series of Eid celebrations. Specificity of Ramadan for Moslems is reflected in the Quran in surah Al Baqarah verse 185:
