Indonesia has the largest Muslim population, approximately 242 million, followed by Pakistan (230 million), India (210 million), Bangladesh (160 million), and Nigeria (120 million).<\/p>\n<p>As the holy month begins, many Muslims have been preparing for a period of fasting, reflection, and community. Those observing the fast start their day with a predawn meal, suhoor, and break their fast at sunset with iftar.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-is-ramadan-holy\">Why is Ramadan holy?<\/h2>\n<p>Muslims believe that Ramadan is the month when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad more than 1,400 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with the Muslim declaration of faith, daily prayers, charity, and performing the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca if physically and financially capable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-arc-image-770 wp-image-4315802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Interactive_Ramadan_Winter_2026-Recovered-04-1771164611.jpg?quality=80\" alt=\"Interactive_Ramadan_2026_Quran_Revealed\" data-interactive=\"true\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ramadan-sayings-in-different-languages\">Ramadan sayings in different languages<\/h2>\n<p>The month begins with the sighting of the new moon, often accompanied by an outpouring of greetings to mark the occasion. Many Muslim-majority countries have their own traditional greetings in their native languages.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most common sayings are \u201cRamadan Mubarak\u201d and \u201cRamadan Kareem\u201d. These are Arabic sayings that translate to \u201cblessed Ramadan\u201d and \u201cgenerous Ramadan\u201d, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Greetings are not limited to the spoken language. They also extend to sign language and Braille. Some countries have their version of sign language, but placing one hand horizontally across the mouth is common among most to represent fasting.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a collection of Ramadan greeting cards that you can download and share.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4317888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4317888\" style=\"width:770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
