This is also the month of Ramadan, a four-week period of prayer and meditation 
incumbent upon all Muslims. The period includes fasting -- no liquids, no food 
-- from dawn 'til sunset. During this period, the entire Quraan is recited from 
memory. Ramadan ends with the sighting of the new moon (probably tomorrow) and 
ends with special congregational prayers and a community feast on Friday. 
During Ramadan many Muslims give the Zakat -- large anonymous donations to the 
poor.

Ramadan kareem!

Assalaamu aleikum.

Lawry
