10 Must See iPhone Apps for Ramadan

The month of Ramadan is one of the most important periods to the Muslim community around the globe. It’s a month of fasting and praying but does have some rules too. Muslims should not eat or drink anything from early morning all the way to late afternoon. They are also encouraged to pray more to connect with their maker. Thanks to Ramadan apps for iPhone, Muslims around the globe can fast and pray more (at the right time) with less headaches.

If you are a Muslim or know someone who belongs to that community, you should give these 10 Ramadan apps a look (Updated 07/20/12):
