Muslims around the world on Wednesday began their annual month-long fast, during which they refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual relations from sunrise to sundown.
The end of this, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, is marked by the festival of Eid ul-Fitr, which this year falls on Thursday, September 9.
