Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, this year it began on Saturday 2nd April and is predicted to end on Sunday 1st May. Every year the start date varies and is decided at the sighting of the moon.

Ramadan is a spiritual month for Muslims and fasting during this month is one of the five pillars of Islam. “It is an opportunity for spiritual growth and closeness to the creator.” Fasting during Ramadan is a commitment of the body and soul to a purification process, and people who are fasting will not eat or drink for approximately 17 to 18 hours during the day.

Ramadan Kareem (this means, may Ramadan be generous to you) to all of those fasting.

If you are a student or staff at the College, please remember we have a reflection room where you are free to use this space to pray and reflect. Visit the B Block on the first floor to access the room.

The Lambeth College and London South Bank Technical College team hope the month is a great journey of spiritual development and we hope you set out to achieve all that you wish.
