Hani Abukishk, from Dallas, Texas, provides a Ramadan awareness brief for U.S. service members at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Aug. 19. Everyone in the Gulf countries, regardless of religious beliefs, must remain aware of the importance and traditions of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic (lunar) calendar, said Abukishk. This year, the religious observance is expected to begin Aug. 22, but the actual start date is dependent on the rise of the new moon. After an official declaration, a widespread fast for Muslims begins at the next sunrise.
