Observant Muslims the world over are united in a ritual of daily fasting from dawn until sunset as the Islamic holy month of Ramadan gets underway.
Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan, with worship, charity, dawn-to-dusk fasting and nightly feasts. The faithful gather for prayers inside mosques in Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey. They gather outside in New York's Times Square and in the Gaza Strip. Ramadan this year comes as the Middle East remains inflamed by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed.
Some customs may transcend borders, while others can differ across cultures. Many social rituals center on gathering and socializing after the daily fast. Some Muslims decorate their homes, put out Ramadan-themed tableware and centerpieces or throng to markets and Ramadan bazaars. In Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, Ramadan is typically a festive time.
