Ramadan is due to start this week
Later this week Muslims across the world will begin observing the holy month of Ramadan. For 30 days, Muslims will not be eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset and will be breaking their fast during the evening.
It is believed that around 5,000 people convert to Islam every year in Britain and for many Ramadan 2023 will be their first. The thought of abstaining from food and drink for 30 days can be a daunting one and they can be forgiven for being anxious or nervous about the prospect. The time for Suhoor ends when the sun rises so depending on the season you could find yourself waking up as early as three o'clock in the morning to eat. However, Suhoor is vital for anybody who is observing Ramadan as it prepares your body for another long day of fasting.
I often find that gradually drinking around two litres of water between the time you break your fast and Suhoor means you wake up the next day feeling replenished.We can often get caught up in the fact that we are abstaining from food and drink during Ramadan and forget that there other aspects of daily life that we must avoid. During Ramadan Muslims are encouraged to focus on practicing their more positive virtues and and avoid slipping into bad habits.
