Ramadan, a pivotal pillar of Islam, begins with the sighting of the new moon in the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Shaban. Ibn Battutah's 14th-century travelogue, "Rehla," provides invaluable insights into the medieval observances of Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr across diverse Muslim societies. From the vibrant preparations in Makkah to the moonlit gatherings in Egypt and the sumptuous feasts in Turkey, his accounts vividly portray communal devotion and shared traditions. Whether in India's bustling cities or the serene mosques of Maldives, the spirit of Ramadan transcends borders, manifesting in congregational prayers, acts of charity, and communal feasting. Through Ibn Battutah's lens, we glimpse a world united in reverence and celebration, where the rhythms of fasting and feasting echo across continents, reaffirming the enduring universality of Islamic faith and tradition.
