For one lunar month each year, practising Muslims - who are able to - forgo food and drink during daylight hours and make a special effort to fill their day with prayers and good deeds.

Ramadan is not just the holiest period of the Islamic calendar, it's also a time when Muslims bond with their families for evening meals, known as iftar, to break the fast, and make time for rites and rituals, some religious and some traditional; ranging from the evening tarawi prayer to sitting around the TV to watch the latest serials. 

Given that Muslims have established themselves in most countries across the globe, the chances are a lot of people have at least a passing familiarity with the month.
