The Islamic fasting month of Ramadan begins for many Muslims around the world on Monday
In Kilimli district of Zonguldak, workers working in coal mines did their first suhoor under the ground, in Turkey, May 6, 2019.
Fasting is aimed at drawing worshippers closer to God through self-control, remembrance, and humility. The challenge of fasting for many is also a chance to reset spiritually and physically, kick bad habits and purify the heart. It's common practice across many Muslim-majority nations for liquor stores and hotels to curb the sale of alcohol during Ramadan. Often, restaurants shutter their doors during the day.
At sunset, when it's time to mark the end of the daylong fast, families and friends gather for an evening meal known as "iftar." While Muslims around the world welcomed the start of Ramadan with traditional greetings and messages of peace, the start of the Muslim holy month in the Gaza Strip was marked by sounds of outgoing Palestinian rockets and incoming Israeli airstrikes.
