Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time when Muslims around the world observe their faith by fasting from sunrise to sunset, abstain from impure thoughts, read the Koran, pray, and think of God. Ramadan ends on July 29, making way for the Muslim holiday of Eid, which marks the end of 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
