        Wikipedia seems to be relatvely correct here. It says:

        Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان‎ Ramaḍān, Arabic pronunciation: [rɑmɑˈdˤɑːn]) (also Ramazan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 to 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating and drinking[1] during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Muslims fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله‎, trans: Allah) and to offer more prayer than usual. Compared to the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving backwards by about eleven days each year depending on the moon; thus, a person will have fasted every day of the calendar year in 34 years' time. Muslims believe Ramadan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, being the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
        So basically it is a time of fasting and reflection. And I guess it kind of celebrates God and the birth of Islam.

    Yeah, as long as you read the Qur'an as peaceful, and follow the golden rule. "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", I wish you, and all your family, all the best.

    That is one concept that seems to practically transcend religion, and can even be seen in the Qur'an.
