Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar - the timing is based on sightings of the crescent moon which means that the dates vary from year to year.
During Ramadan, most Muslims try to avoid negative acts or their personal vices, whilst instead practicing positive acts, exercising self-control and showing compassion for those less fortunate than themselves. They aim to better their relationship with God and their community in various ways: by attending the mosque for iftar, spending extra time reading the Quran, participating in volunteer work, or coming together for long nights of prayer.
Ramadan is believed to be the best time of the year to practice positive acts such as giving to charity. The rewards for generous deeds during Ramadan are believed to be multiplied many times over. It is the most popular month for paying Zakat (donating 2.5% of your wealth to charity) - each year, British Muslims give millions of pounds to charities.
Over the years through the support of our donor partners in the UK, Islamic Dawah Training Centre (IDTC) was able to implement Feed the fasting projects during the month of Ramadan by increasing access to food for vulnerable Muslim families in our communities
