Christmas is celebrated by people of different ethnicity and beliefs across the globe, but most Muslims don't recognise it as a holiday.
Although they do believe in Jesus, they instead have two official holidays in Islam - Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha.
But as 2019 comes to an end, it's nearly time to welcome the new year and what lies ahead - including the holy month of Ramadan.
The first celebration on the Islamic calendar is Eid Al-Fitr , which comes at the end of Ramadan.
Ramadan is a period of fasting observed by Muslim adults - that means abstaining from food and drink, including water, from sunrise to sunset.
The annual event is meant to help those observing it focus on prayer, purification and charitable acts. Muslims believe that the physical ritual allows them to understand the suffering of others as well as increasing their closeness to God.
Festivities, including a feast, for Eid Al-Fitr marks the breaking of the fast at the end of Ramadan.
But when is it?
It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The month also marks the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad according to their belief. Observance of it is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
It lasts 29-30 days based on the lunar calendar.
In 2020, Ramadan will begin in the evening of Thursday, April 23 and will end in the evening of Saturday, May 23.
But dates could change.
The Islamic calendar is based on the cycle of the moon, but the Gregorian calendar largely used in the western world is based on the sun.
Because the two calendars don’t align exactly, the Islamic dates move back by 11 days a year.
