A Palestinian man reads the Koran, Islam's holiest book, at the al-Omary mosque in Gaza City on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, on May 17, 2018. Ramadan is sacred to Muslims because it is during that month that tradition says the Koran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. The fast is one of the five main religious obligations under Islam. Muslims around the world will mark the month, during which believers abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and having sex from dawn until sunset. Photo by Ashraf Amra
