Ramadan is an important date in the calendar for Muslims across the world as it remembers the month the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
To mark the occasion, Muslims won’t eat or drink during the hours of daylight from Wednesday, March 22 to Friday, April 21, Birmingham Live reports.
Fasting during Ramadan also involves abstaining from intimacy in order to focus the mind and body on spiritual reflection, religious study and doing good deeds for others.
