Holy month of Ramadan begins today

Holy month of Ramadan begins today

The fast is broken with a meal known as “iftar”. There is a second opportunity to eat and drink during “suhoor” before dawn. Ramadan is sacred to Muslims because tradition says the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed during that month. Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan with a three-day holiday called Eid ul-Fitr.
