Traditionally marked by the sighting of the crescent moon with the naked eye, Ramadan is the Holy Month of Islam – and is the 9th month in the Islamic Calendar. 

The reason Ramadan is of great significance to all Muslims the world over, is because this was the month in which the teachings of the Holy Quran were revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the night of Laylat Al Qadr, one of the last ten nights of Ramadan. 

A few essential tips on Ramadan. 

Ramadan is one of the 'five Pillars of Islam' and is widely observed as a month of spiritual reflection, fasting, sacrifice, worship, self-control and offering of charity or Zakat to the less fortunate. 

As such, there is a certain Ramadan etiquette that is basic to be followed. So here are a few etiquette tips to follow during this Holy Month:

• Abstain from eating, drinking or smoking in public during the fasting hours. 

• Whilst non-Muslims are not expected to fast; it is important for them to show respect and follow the basic etiquette in their everyday life and social behavior. 

• Dressing should be respectful and appropriate; similarly, one should not play music in public spaces or engage in public displays of affection.

• If invited for an Iftar or Suhour, always attend, since it is a matter of honor to accept the offer of the person who is inviting you.   

• Since Ramadan is a month of giving, do gift traditional and tasteful gifts to your family members, friends, colleagues and associates.
