Ramadan, observed from February 17 to March 19, 2026, is the Islamic month of fasting, when Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours. Each day’s fast is broken at sunset with an iftar (fast-breaking) meal, often shared with family and friends. Ramadan offers a wonderful opportunity to invite a Muslim student to join you for dinner after sunset and share in the spirit of hospitality and reflection that defines this season.
