The Ramadan month is a holy one that  provides an opportunity for people all over the world to set their minds towards a higher state of being through continuous reflection and self-sacrifice; now, social media can keep that fact evergreen in the minds of people.

Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic holy calendar. It demands that over 1.6 billion faithful worldwide must fast strictly from dawn until dusk, and are expected to abstain from other earthly pleasures as well.

Now, Twitter has designed accounts which can help them express themselves and talk about activities surrounding this time.
