One of the Muslim holidays is "Ramadan . Ramadan is a holiday on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar when everyone who is a Muslim must fast for one month. This means that they are not allowed to eat when the sun out for 30 days.They are not allowed to eat, drink, or have sexual relation while fasting. Every evening while fasting they have to pray before they eat their meal. Volunteering, feeding the poor, and doing good acts can be substituted for days without fasting.

Muslims pray where ever they are at a set time. Five times a day a siren goes off and when Muslims hear that, they must pull out their mats they carry with them, and pray facing the Makkah. Also on fridays Muslims go to a mosque to pray.

This is a call to prayer that is said in a loud voice to announce to people to invite them to the prayers. The people who perform are the "Muezzin". The song has a history of showing equality that everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah (Allah is the arabic word for god). It is recited by the muezzin in the direction of the Ka'ba.

The fourth pillar occurs in the month Ramadan where muslims cannot eat when the sun is out for 30 days. The final pillar says that muslims must take at least one trip to the makkah in their lifetime.

Muslims go every Friday to pray at the Mosque. They pray facing the Makkah. In the Mosque they have a thing in the wall indicating where the Mecca is so they can pray in that direction. The Imam is the prayer leader and leads the prayer. Mosques come in different sizes depending on the region and population.
