Ramadan Infographic

Ramadan 2020

Ramadan is the Muslim month of Fasting, and is scheduled on the Lunar calander and therefore does not fall on the solar calenar at the same time each year. This year, Ramadan 2020 falls between April 23rd and May 23rd.

Practicing Muslim students will be fasting from dawn until dusk (approximately 4:30am - 8:30pm - local time) for the full month. Fasting means no food and NO WATER (also no smoking). Ramadan celebrations often involve gatherings and prayers late into the night.It is not unusual to be up past midnight for prayers and then get up at 3:30-4am to eat before dawn.
