Sundown on June 17th marks the beginning of the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is the month when the Holy Quran was revealed and is observed by Muslim around the world by fasting from sunrise to sunset. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The very young, very old, and people with medical conditions are among those who may abstain from the fast.
Given the longer days this time of year, maintaining good levels of energy throughout the day is very important, especially for hardworking students! We want to share some resources and recipes for helping you have a healthy fast:
