Muslims celebrate Ramadan across the world

Ramadan is one of the most important dates in the Islamic calendar. The festival marks the ninth month of the lunar calendar (which is based on the phases of the moon) and commemorates when the Qur’an – the main scripture for Islam – was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Ramadan is observed by around 1.8 billion Muslims across the world, and fasting is a key part, with practising Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Here is everything you need to know about the festival.
