This is what Ramazaan/Ramadaan al-Kareem looks
like around the world..
Istanbul, Turkey
Thousands of Turkish people break their fasting at the Blue Mosque
square in Istanbul, during the first day of the holy month of Ramadaan.
Ramadaan is sacred to Muslims because it is during that month that
tradition says the Quraan was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam]. The fast
is one of the five main religious obligations under Islaam. Photograph by Ozan Kose / Getty Images
