Happy Ramadan 2017! First Ramadan 2017 in UK Date Announced!

There are almost three million Muslims in the UK, and they’ve been gearing up for the holy month of Ramadan, which is observed every year.

Many of us know in general terms what the event entails – fasting and prayer are in there, of course, as are family gatherings.

The Seher will be eaten between 2.30am to 3 am, the evening meal (iftar) is eaten around 9pm-9.30pm in United Kingdom.

Fasting is done out of the love for Allah (God) and shows devotion, willpower, discipline, patience, selflessness, adaptability, unity, and closeness to the supreme being.

During Ramadan, fasting is compulsory for every Muslim who is mentally and physically fit and healthy.

But not everyone takes part. There are some exceptions.

Children under the age of puberty, normally around 14, are exempt but are encouraged to gradually start giving up some food and drink during Ramdan so they are better prepared when they reach the age of full fasting.
