Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, has a special significance in Islam.

It is the most important time in the Islamic calendar where Muslims fast and refrain from eating or drinking between dawn and sunset.

The Islamic calendar is a lunar system that adds up to only 354 days and shifts some 11 days from the Gregorian calendar each year—though a single leap day is sometimes added.

Speaking to journalists on Monday afternoon, Lt Col Richard Hecht noted the start, in less than a month's time, of Ramadan - one of the most holy months in the Islamic calendar.

But the Ahmeds’ decorating will come later, when they put up strings of moon and star lights to celebrate Ramadan, a holy month in the Islamic calendar.
