In 2017, Ramadan started on May 26, while in 2018 it is expected to start on May 15. In 2019, Ramadan will likely start on May 4.

I immediately understood how Muslim girls when brought up in society with such level of modesty consider it normal, while it was strange for me in the beginning.

Besides fasting and praying, Muslims also focus more on doing good deeds like charity, helping the needy, avoiding fights, avoiding use of foul language, forgiving others, being polite, and seeking refuge, forgiveness, and mercy from Allah.

I am aware of two locations in Spokane that will host Ramadan activities throughout the month: the Spokane Islamic Center and the Bosnia-Herzegovina Heritage Association of Spokane. Each location will be open to the public and everyone is welcome to come meet their Muslim neighbors and enjoy the food.

Muslims around the world began observing Ramadan on Monday, Islam's holy month during which believers abstain from eating and drinking during daylight hours.

Muslim Americans will gather today (July 17) to celebrate Eid al-Fitr to mark the end of the month-long Ramadan.

The holy month of Ramadan coincides for the first time since 1986 with the soccer tournament.
