The month of Ramadan, which is observed annually by millions of Muslims, takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is observed through fasting and taking increased time for prayer, self-reflection and charity. As we approach the end of the month, with the last 10 days being the most significant of the month, Muslims around the world are increasing their focus even more as we try to make the most of these blessed days.
However, it is also a time to start looking ahead to Eid al-Fitr, the festival which marks the end of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr, which translates to “the Festival of Breaking Fast” is a time to celebrate with loved ones, dressing up in new clothes and hosting traditional dinners. It’s an excuse to indulge in all the delicious dishes you may have missed whilst fasting.
