Ramadan is month of feeding your soul and developing self control habits. Like every year, this year too, it is celebrated by Muslims around the world with religious passion. Sehri and Iftaar are two major events that take place every day in the month of Ramadan. Sehri is pre-dawn meal, a meal consumed early in the morning before fasting. Iftaar is meal that is consumed just after the sun set.

09 JULY 2013 – PATTANI, PATTANI, THAILAND: Women walk into Pattani Central Mosque in Pattani, Thailand, Tuesday night on the first night of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which Muslims believe the Quran was revealed. Muslims believe that the Quran was sent down during this month, thus being prepared for gradual revelation by Jibraeel (Gabriel) to the Prophet Muhammad. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
