According to the Koran, the Prophet Mohammed received the Book's holy words in the month of Ramadan. During this month, Muslims are supposed to practise abstinence. Daily prayer is compulsory – even for travellers. Islamic prayer rooms have been set up in many international airports, like the one here in Amman. In Germany, you can find these rooms in the airports at Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf.
