During Ramadan, devout Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from sunrise to sunset for a month. In the evening, people traditionally gather to break the fast together.

It is estimated that there are about 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide. Most of them live in Indonesia, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The two holiest places in Islam, Mecca and Medina, are in Saudi Arabia.
