Today, muslims around the world will be observing the month of Ramadan -- a month in which Muslims believe the Quran was revealed almost 1432 years ago beginning with one word "Iqra" (read), and reflect on the wisdom, devotion, and sympathy-to-mankind that comes with knowledge.

With our continued efforts to bring you more and more live content from around the world, we are very pleased to announce our association with The Saudi Ministry of Culture and Information to bring you Islamic prayers live this Ramadan from the Holy Mosque in Makkah on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/MakkahLive

Best wishes to all Muslims all over the world on the occasion of the holy month.
