During the month of Ramadan, Muslims must not eat or drink during daylight hours. The purpose of Ramadan is to encourage Muslims to feel and empathise with those who are poor, hungry and homeless. Ramadan also encourages Muslims to help the less fortunate and to give to charity. This year's Ramadan falls in the middle of summer, beginning on 11 August. The Islamic calendar is dependent on the moon and this year the holy month will begin in August and end on 12th September.
