Ramadan in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, 27 May 2017. Muslims around
the world celebrate the holy month of Ramadan by praying during
the night time and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual
acts daily between sunrise and sunset. Ramadan is the ninth
month in the Islamic calendar and it is believed that the
Koran's first verse was revealed during its last 10 nights.
