Ramadan Kareem to all our readers. The first day of the Holy Month officially started on Saturday, May 27, the UAE moon sighting committee announced over the weekend.

The sacred month falls on the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar as this is when the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Shortly before Ramadan was called, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, posted a video of people in the UAE helping each other. The heart-warming video was shared with the caption in Arabic:

“Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“As we approach the Holy Month of Ramadan this year, we call upon all to launch new initiatives that highlight the human face of our country. We congratulate the coming of the blessed month.
