Ramadan (Islam)

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It's when Muslims all over the world spend 30 days fasting from sunrise to sunset. Ramadan is also a time for reflection, discipline, extra prayers, charity, kindness, family and community. Meet colleagues Kalim and Ifran and hear what Ramadan means to them. "In case you may be wondering why some of your colleagues are looking a bit tired maybe less cheery than usual, then spare a thought for them!
