Muslims around the globe began celebrating the holy month worldwide, starting 30 days of fasting and other traditions.
The world's more than 1.5 billion followers of Islam have begun celebrating the holy month of Ramadan — the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, beginning weeks of fasting as they start off by observing the crescent moon.
In Beirut, Lebanon, shop owners displayed various symbols of the holy month, like traditional lanterns that worshipers buy to decorate their homes reminding them of the tradition. According to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, members of the Shi’a Muslim, Ahmadiyya Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and Sikh communities in Pakistan continue to experience"increasingly aggressive" discrimination there.
