Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie will be the first Muslim astronaut to be in space during Islam holiest month, Ramadhan. A story from BBC.com wrote on how he will carry out his 'ibadat: fasting & praying' rituals and will hold the first traditional Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebratory meal in space. He was successfully blasted off into space in a Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan at exactly 9.21pm, Malaysian time. He will spend nine days on the space station conducting medical and bio-technology tests and research on behalf of various Malaysian scientists before returning to Earth with the outgoing crew.
