For all of the ninth month of Ramadan, followers of Islam have had to endure daily fasting from early in the morning - a couple of hours before sunrise - right through to sunset.

They have had to abstain from food, drink, smoking, sex and sinful behaviour during that time.

It's meant fasting for 19 hours a day in what has been the toughest Ramadan this century.
