For Somali student and entrepreneur Abdinur Mohamed, 31, Ramadan is the most special time of the year.

“Ramadan means everything to me,” says Abdinur who lives in Kuala Lumpur. “It is the month of forgiveness and the month that the holy Quran was revealed,” he shares. “To me, fasting brings out the best in people; it promotes patience, discipline, helps us have purity in our thoughts and encourages piety,” he says.
