Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
Some places in the Islamic world vie to be the first to see the new moon
at the start of the new month. It is a time of fasting during daylight
hours. During this time, Muslims concentrate on their faith. A huge party
called Eid or more correctly, Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the month.
The Beetle has attended Eid parties whilst living in Pakistan – they are
a lot like Christmas for Christians – food, presents and a lot of fun.
