The Islamic religious event of Ramadan will begin soon as Muslims in Liverpool and around the world begin a month of fasting and reflection.
The annual observance, commentating the Prophet Muhammad's first revelation, lasts twenty-nine to thirty days from the sighting of one crescent moon to the next. During daylight hours, Muslims will fast until sunset.
The pre-dawn meal is called the Fajr, while the meal breaking the fast is known as the Maghrib/Iftar. During the day, prayers will be observed. As Ramadan is based on the rising and setting of the moon, timings will vary depending on your location.
