Answer:
Ramadan is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of God and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.
Explanation:

Ramadan (pronounce it as "Ramzaan") is the month in which the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) through the arch-angel Jibreel ("Gabriel" in the Bible).
Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for an entire month.
As one of the five pillars, or duties, of Islam, fasting during the month of Ramadan is mandatory for all healthy adult Muslims. However, there are certain exemptions!
"In Islam, there are several excuses for not fasting during Ramadan, including prepubertal children, women during their menstrual period or postnatal bleeding, travelers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, the elderly who cannot tolerate fasting, the mentally disabled and the sick whom fasting will aggravate their condition, or even patients with chronic medical conditions (eg- diabetes)"
But why is it so important?
- It is more than just fasting!! Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking (even from drinking water), from doing immoral acts and from getting angry.
- This also teaches us the importance of food and water, and make us think twice before we waste it. Not many people in this world are privileged to afford a square meal everyday.
- Another pillar of Islam is Zakaat (charity), which is an obligatory form of alms-giving required of every able Muslim at the end of Ramadan (again this is not compulsory for everyone to donate fir charity, there are certain exemptions here too!). The purpose of Zakat al-Fitr is to enable poor people to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the festival to break the fast of Ramadan.
- So you can say, for Muslims, it is a time for piety and spirituality; in other words, an opportunity to get closer to Allah!
