Ramadan Around the World (Some Videos & Articles)

[umsami]

Hi Everybody, Assalamu Alaikum (Peace Be Upon You):

Thought I'd share some various clips and stuff on Ramadan around the world. As you may or not know, it's a holy month for Muslims where we do not eat or drink from dawn until sunset. (Children don't fast... nor do those who are sick. Pregnant and breastfeeding women do not have to fast as well, but many choose to.)
