Ramadan (Ramazan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

Muslims focus more on prayer, charity, and kindness during this month.

The pious refrain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset.

Fasting is performed by one and all...

…as long as they are healthy, old enough, sane and have no disabilities or illnesses.

Muslims are encouraged to recite the entire Quran, and especially the Takbir (prayer).

At sunset, family and friends gather for the fast-breaking meal known as Iftar.

Typically, the meal starts with the ritual eating of a date, then time for a prayer to thank Allah …

…followed by the simple meal of fruits and vegetables along with traditional Middle Eastern (or local) fare.

Charity is very common during Ramadan.

People can be seen giving food, clothing and other necessities to the needy.
