Ramadan Mubarak from all at The Recovery College.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Ramadan is a holy month dedicated to prayer and reading the Quran. The exact dates of Ramadan change every year. This is because Islam uses a calendar based on the cycles of the Moon.
Ramadan will come to an end with Eid Al-Fitr, called 'the Festival of Breaking the Fast'. The Ramadan fast (sawm) is one of the Five Pillars, fundamental religious duties of Islam, so most Muslims in the UK abstain from eating and drinking during daylight hours. It is common to have one meal (suhoor) just before sunrise and an evening meal (iftar) after sunset.
To everyone celebrating this month, We wish you a blessed, peaceful, and uplifting month.
