Muslim devotees offer 'Tarawih’ prayers, special evening prayers, on the eve of the start of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan at the Istiqlal mosque in Jakarta on May 26, 2017. Muslims across the world are preparing for the holy month of Ramadan, which will this year take place amid sharp hikes in food prices and in many countries an ever present fear of violence. For the month, followers are required to abstain from food, drink and sex from dawn to dusk.
