How the Muslim community of Cardiff came together for Ramadan after two years of the coronavirus pandemic

Nestled right at the heart of Cathays in Cardiff, the Dar Ul-Isra centre looks fairly quiet from the outside. On a Thursday evening, the April showers have passed, Wyeverne Road stands still and the sun sets on another day in the capital.

Inside the mosque however, its community is celebrating one of the biggest events on its calendar. This month marks the celebration of Ramadan for many Muslims across the capital, Wales and the world.

Known as the holy month of fasting, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk. In the evening, families, friends and communities will come together to participate in iftar - the evening meal that breaks the fast and takes place after sunset.
