Observant Muslims are also encouraged to donate to the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Across the Muslim world, Ramadan festivities this year were overshadowed by the ongoing war in the Middle East, triggered by the US and Israel&#8217;s attack on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The Gulf region has been pummelled with repeated strikes by Iran in a retaliatory blitz, with airports, residential areas, energy installations and
