Photos- Holy Ramadan observed around the world

Mulims all over the world observe the blessed month of Ramadan during which they abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours.
As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking.
Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. They are to make peace with those who have wronged them, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits — essentially to clean up lives, thoughts, and feelings.
The Arabic word for “fasting” (sawm) literally means “to refrain” – and it means not only refraining from food and drink, but from evil actions, thoughts, and words.
