Muslims in Cameroon have joined their brethren all over the world to observe a month of fasting and prayers from today, Thursday June 18, 2015. The 30-day Ramadan period commemorates the time when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed on the night of "Laylat Al Qadr".
Fasting during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam.The moon was not sighted on Tuesday, and as Wednesday is the last day of the month of Shaaban, Ramadan was slated to begin on Thursday.
