Ramadan in Australia began at sunrise this morning, Wednesday 5 October, and ends at sunset Wednesday 2 November 2005. Orthodox Muslims abstain from both food and drink from sunrise until after sunset prayers when there is a meal called Iftar, frequently an occasion for hospitality. Correct sunrise and sunset (maghrib) times for Australian towns and cities are at - <http://www.islamicfinder.org/cityPrayer.php?country=australia>.
The fast is followed November 3-5 with the Eid ul-Fitr festival, also called Ramzan id.
