According to MEMRI:
"The month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, has a special status as
the month of religious spirituality and devotion. However, in Muslim
tradition it is also perceived as a month of Jihad, a month in which
Allah grants military victories to His believers. It was during Ramadan
that Muslims triumphed in many battles throughout the history of Jihad
for the sake of Allah - among them the battle of Badr in 624, the
conquest of Mecca in 630 and of Andalusia in 711, the battle of
Al-Zallaqa (in Andalusia) in 1086, the battle of Ein Jalut in 1260, as
well as the 1973 War (called The Ramadan War).
