Ramadhan
► For
over one billion Muslims throughout the world,
Ramadhan is a special month of the year. During
the month of Ramadhan, Muslims fast from dawn
to sunset every day. Ramadhan was the month in
which the first verses of the holy Qur'an were
revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). It is a
time for inner reflection, devotion to God and selfcontrol. The sighting of the new moon at the end
of Ramadhan heralds the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr.
Observing Ramadhan
This picture taken September 5, 2008 shows a stall worker preparing roasted chicken wings to be sold at
a Ramadan bazaar in downtown Kuala Lumpur for the breaking of their fast. In Muslim households across
Asia, the inflation crisis is casting a shadow over the holy month of Ramadan, and making the nightly
ritual of breaking the fast a more meagre affair. From Afghanistan to Malaysia, the high prices of food are
forcing the poor to go without, and curtailing the lavish evening buffets which the well-off have flocked to
in better economic times. (KAMARUL AKHIR/AFP/Getty Images) #
