This year the Islamic holy month of Ramadan takes place from 1 - 30 March and many students and staff will be fasting.
Ramadan remembers the month the Qur’an (the Muslim holy book) was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It’s a time for reflection, where Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours, and focus on prayer, purification and charitable acts. The Muslim Council of Britain have a Ramadan 2025 guide and resources you can download that includes key information for those observing and those who are interested in learning more about the holy month. You can also visit the East London Mosque website to download their 2025 Ramadan Timetable.
QMUL Iftar is back, and the Student Life Team and the Students' Union are hosting two amazing Iftar events you won't want to miss:
Thursday 13 March at Library Square, Mile End campus
Friday 21 March at Griff Inn & Old Library, Garrod Building Whitechapel campus
Take a break from your studies to join Muslim students and colleagues to break fast together as a community. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you are fasting or not.
