There is mainly two days considered as Holidays for Muslims. The first one comes after the month of Ramadan, where Muslims fast for 30 consecutive days from sunrise to sunset. We are not allowed to eat, drink, smoke, dirty talk or have sexual intercourse during their fast hours. The month of Ramadan usually been determined according to the Lunar Calendar (Hijri Calendar). During Summer months this is usually comes a very long hours. In some months like July the Muslim fasts for 16-18 hours. although for some people it is tough, but it still the month all Muslims wait passionately because they believe it is the month of repentance from all the sins the Muslim might been committed during the year.
The second holiday comes during the Pilgrimage month, where Muslims from all the world goes to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the most important thing in this worship is that the Muslim leaves everything behind him and stands in equality with all other Muslims from all over the world, whatever his color, ethnicity, gender, or social status was, no preferences no privilege. All at the same level seeking nothing but the mercy of Allah (The Lord).
