First day of Ramadan on 9th july 2013

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and is the Islamic month of fasting, when Muslims around the world do not eat or drink during daylight hours. As well as fasting, Muslims are encouraged to give up bad habits, increase their worship and be more charitable.

The aim of fasting during Ramadan is to teach patience, humility, tolerance and sympathy for those less fortunate than ourselves.
