Ramadan celebrations around the world

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars and fundamental religious duties of Islam.

It is a time when the believers are surrounded by angels, the gates of heaven are open, and Allah's blessings and mercy are abundant.

Muslims fast from dawn to dusk seeking reward from Allah and to learn self control.

Adding to the spiituality of the month, one of the special moments during the month of Ramadan is the iftar hour when Muslims break their fast.
