Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During the whole month, Muslims fast from Sehri to Iftar. During the fast, no food or drink is consumed and thoughts must be kept pure. Followers of Islam believe that fasting helps the Muslims develop patience, modesty, spirituality and understand the pain of hunger. At the end of the day of fasting in the name of Allah, muslims take food and beverages during iftar.<\/p>\n
