Muslims in Britain

Noor mosque during the month also hosted an Iftar dinner (the breaking of the fast meal) for non-Muslims with over 70 guests attending.

For Muslims, the holy month of Ramadan is an important opportunity to come closer to the divine by fasting from sunrise to sunset as an act of worship.

Ramadan is due to end after the new crescent moon is sighted today, but the weather conditions mean that it may not be visible in Britain.
