Tips for non-Muslims during Ramadan
Ramadan this year is expected to begin on 11 March and end on 9 April. During this time your Muslim colleagues, students, peers, friends and family will be abstaining from food or drink from dawn until sunset. Be conscious that energy levels may dip towards the end of the day, be gentle, kind and patient.
This is considered a particularly blessed and holy month when Muslims are reminded of the grace and blessing received from God every day. It is a time to dedicate to pray, Scripture reading and serving. If you are interested in what Ramadan means for Muslims take this time to ask your Muslim friend and perhaps in this month let yourself take their example to reflect on the good things in your life.
