Il Mese del Ramadan (in arabo: رمضان) e’ il nono e piu’ sacro mese del calendario musulmano. Uno dei cinque pilastri dell’Islam impone ai fedeli di astenersi da cibo, acqua e rapporti sessuali dall’alba al tramonto per l’intero mese. Quest’anno il Ramadan e’ iniziato l’11 agosto e si e’ concluso il 9 settembre.
