Ramadan is the holiest period for the Islamic faith and honors what Muslims believe was the month in which the first verses of the Islamic holy book Quran were revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. Muslims all over the world abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan in order to purify themselves and concentrate on Islamic teachings.
