The Blessed month of Ramadan is upon us once again - a time for reflection, contemplation and celebration. As the Islamic calendar is based around the lunar cycle, the Holy month of Ramadan rotates by approximately ten days each year. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday 5th May 2019, depending on the sighting of the moon. One of the five Pillars of Islam, sawm will begin a few hours after the sighting of the moon at sunrise and continue until sunset. It is essential to familiarise yourself with the dates and times for Ramadan 2019, as anyone who is still eating their pre-dawn meal (suhoor) following the completion of the call to prayer (Fajr) is disqualified from that day’s fast.
