The sighting of the crescent moon marks the beginning of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Ramadan, a month of fasting, is observed by around 2 billion Muslims all over the world. During the month of Ramadan, most Muslims refrain from food and drink, smoking, and sexual activity from dawn to sunset.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe this spiritual time of fasting, worship, and reflection.
Throughout Ramadan, the UBC community is welcome to participate in events and activities on campus, including Iftars and Taraweeh Prayers. Visit the link for more information: events.ubc.ca/ramadan
