Ramadan, has started. This is named after the month of Ramadan according to the lunar calendar. This is the most important time of the year for followers of Islam. Fasting during the day ( no water either), extra prayers, more time for inner reflection, a time for cleansing and firming of faith. Only after the sun has set can one eat again, usually the fast is broken with some dates and water, a trip to the Mosque for some prayers and then a some more food. This is generally a quiet time but it does go late into the night.
