Muslims all around the world are taking part in the Islamic Holy month of Ramadan, which will draw to a close at the end of this week with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of a month of fasting from dawn to sunset.

Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year for Muslims and celebrated during the 9th month of their calendar. Ramadan doesnt follow the western calendar and instead follows the Lunar calendar meaning the month can change each year. This year the celebration starts on Thursday, 23rd April.
