Worshippers gathered in mosques across the UAE on Thursday to mark the start of Ramadan.

The holiest month in the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is observed by more than 1.9 billion Muslims around the world.

It is said to be the month the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed.

Ramadan is typically a time for reflection and spending time with loved ones.

On Wednesday, Sheikh Mohamed called for “peace and harmony” for people in the UAE and around the globe, in an uplifting Ramadan message.

He wished for a “blessed month of reflection”.

“As the holy month of Ramadan begins, I wish you all a blessed month of reflection and pray that God continues to grant peace and harmony to the people of the UAE and the world,” Sheikh Mohamed wrote on Twitter.
