Today marks the start of the holy month of Ramadan. One of the most important times in a Muslim's life, Ramadan is a time for self reflection and for many a time to strengthen their faith.
Lasting 30 days, Muslims will abstain from drinking water or eating food from sunrise to sun set and will be breaking their fast in the evening. Islamic institutions have reported sightings of the crescent of the new moon and it has been announced that many will begin their fast on Thursday (March 23).
