This time next week the Holy Month of Ramada will be underway.
Often considered to be one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar, it begins next Wednesday, March 22 and will last until Friday, April 21.
Happening over the space of 30 days, Ramadan is the month when millions of Muslims across the world, including the communities here in Merseyside, fast. The practice involves abstaining - usually – from food, drink, smoking and sexual activity from sunrise to sunset. The period also offers Muslims the opportunity to strengthen their religious bonds and offer a giving hand to those around them.
