10 JULY 2013 - PATTANI, PATTANI, THAILAND: A Muslim women makes roti to sell for Iftar in a market near Krue Se Mosque in Pattani, Thailand. Iftar is the meal Muslims take when they break their daily Ramadan fast. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which Muslims believe the Quran was revealed. Muslims believe that the Quran was sent down during this month, thus being prepared for gradual revelation by Jibraeel (Gabriel) to the prophet Muhammad. The month is spent fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
