THE HOLY month of Ramadan is considered a time of spiritual reflection, fasting and prayers.
Each year, Muslims across the globe abstain from eating or drinking between dawn and sundown during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The first day of Ramadan begins today: Tuesday, April 13, 2021.
Fasting will begin at sunrise after suhur and then finish at sunset with iftar.
All Muslims who have reached puberty are expected to fast during Ramadan.
However, there are some exceptions such as women who are menstruating or pregnant and those suffering from illness.
