WHAT IS RAMADAN? Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar and
is also known as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Ramadan lasts for one lunar month which is a maximum of 29 or 30 days and its start and ending dates are determined by the sighting of the moon. This means it comes around 11 days earlier each year and so starts on a different date each year.
Ramadan 2018 in United Kingdom began on the evening of Wednesday 16th May
and will end on the evening of Thursday 14th June.
