For the month of Ramadan mosques around the world, including many in Nottingham, will be welcoming thousands of people for prayers.
Practising Musilms recite five mandatory prayers each day of the year as a part of the main principles of Islam and during Ramadan there's an even greater focus on fulfilling these acts of worship.
The five prayers are fajr (held at dawn), zuhr (at noon), asr (in the afternoon), maghrib (at sunset) and isha (at night). Throughout Ramadan most of the day is spent fasting between a pre-dawn meal called suhoor and an evening meal called iftar.
