Ramadan, the month of fasting will begin this Monday, March 11, announces the Grand Mosque of Paris. “We pray to our Lord that this blessed month brings an immediate ceasefire and a just and lasting peace to Gaza,” continues the Chemseddine Hafiz.
During Ramadan, believers are invited to abstain from drinking, eating, smoking and having sexual relations, from dawn (as soon as one can "distinguish a white thread from a black thread" says the Quran) until sunset.
