The term 29-day month in 2011 is referring to the Islamic holy month of RAMADAN. RAMADAN is an annual observance that occurs during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. During this time, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. It is a time of spiritual discipline – of deep contemplation of one's relationship with God, extra prayer, increased charity and generosity.
