Muslims around the world are observing the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. From waking up in the early hours for a quick bite and sip of water to the waiting – date in hand – for the seconds to tick by until the call to prayer at sunset.
Muslims – 1.6 billion in the world – believe Ramadan is the holiest month in the year, when the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to the prophet Muhammad.
Here are some breathtaking photos from all over the world that depict the enthusiasm of Muslims and their love for this holy month.
