Ramadan

When: Sep 2009

Where: Africa

The ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar is devoted to fasting and is observed by Muslims throughout the world as one of the “five pillars” of the religion.

The other four are the declaration of faith, prayer, charity (Zakat), and the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Makkah.

For an entire lunar month of 30 days, devout Muslims are forbidden to eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. The prohibition also extends to other pleasurable consumptions, like cigarettes, and activities such as sex.

The beginning of the observance is calculated by the lunar calendar, which is shorter than the Western Gregorian calendar. Every year Ramadan slides a couple of weeks back through the calendar, until it has covered the entire year.
