Ramadan is a special holiday of fasting and praising Alah (god). This year (2010) it goes from August 11th to september 9th. They wake up at 4:30am and eat a big breakfast called sahur. At about 5:10am as dawn breaks the first of 5 daily prayers fajr is offered (i dont know what fajr is ) They do this beacause it helps them realise how hungry people feel (and to praise Alah). In many places around the world muslims will be looking at the sky at night and if there is a cresent moon in sight this will be a signal that it is ramadan.
SO HAPPY RAMADAN EVERYBODY!!!!!!! (RAMADAN KARREEM)
