Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, begins this evening with Muslims around the world fasting for a month from sunrise until sunset.

During Ramadan, as well as fasting many Muslims give money or volunteer for particular causes. What are you doing for Ramadan? Are you fasting, fundraising or helping the homeless? Have you set yourself a particular challenge or are you doing something different this year? We’d also like to hear from those adhering to traditions in modern or unusual surroundings, such as the Somalis marking Ramadan in a synagogue in north London.
