In Govanhill and the surrounding area, hundreds of people are currently observing Ramadan, one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims. We delve into what Ramadan is all about, where you can go to break fast in Glasgow and how you can support your friends and colleagues during this month.

With mosques closed and people confined to their own homes, this year’s Ramadan has been like no other, although some have found there to be benefits too. Members of Govanhill’s Muslim community take the time to reflect on their experiences of Ramadan during lockdown.

This year, Ramadan will last from the 23 April until 23rd May. During this time, Glasgow’s Muslims will not let anything pass their lips between dawn and dusk each day. Despite this, Glasgow’s Muslim community continues to do what they can to support those in need.
