Every year, practising Muslims observe a period of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.

From dawn to sunset, they abstain from eating or drinking.

When night falls, they start to eat; they “break” the fast.

But what is the point of Ramadan?

Islam, the religion of Muslims, is based on 5 pillars: the testimony of faith, prayer, charity, Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Mecca.
