RAMADAN TIMETABLE 2024
THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN IS THE TIME TO PARTAKE IN THE FAST, PURIFY OUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT, AND WORK TO BECOME CLOSER TO ALLAH (SWT).
DUAA FOR FASTING
There is a special duaa for fasting which should be made before the fast begins each day:
وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
Transliteration: Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadan.
Translation: I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.
DUAA FOR BREAKING FAST IN RAMADAN (IFTAR)
اللَّهُمَّ اني لَكَ صُمتُ وَعَلَى رِزقِكَ أَفطَرتُ
Transliteration: Allahumma inni laka sumtu, wa Ala rizqika aftartu
English translation: Oh Allah! I fasted for You and I break my fast with Your sustenance.

THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM
The five core Pillars of Islam are:
SHAHADAH
Recital of Islamic faith (reading of the
Holy Qur’an)
SALAH
Obligatory prayer performed five
times a day, as ordered by Allah (SWT),
to be performed before sunrise, at
midday, late afternoon, after sunset
and between sunset and midnight
ZAKAT
A charitable donation based on
expendable income; the payment of
zakat is popular during the holy month
of Ramadan as payments made during
this time hold greater reward for the
donor
SAWM
The fast during Ramadan which all able
Muslims are expected to observe
HAJJ
The annual pilgrimage to Mecca that
all able Muslims must make at least
once in their lifetime
During the auspicious month of
Ramadan, we must take time to reflect
on our faith and all of the blessings
that we have received. This is also a
time of contemplation, where we ca
observe the fast and actively work to
purify ourselves in accordance with
the teachings outlined in the Holy
Qur’an.
HELP OTHERS THIS RAMADAN
Indeed, the act of giving generously and aiding others holds immense significance in Islam throughout the year. However, during the sacred month of Ramadan, the blessings and rewards for such deeds are magnified manifold. It is a time when the spirit of compassion and charity flourishes, offering believers a unique opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of the less fortunate.
We invite you to join us at iHuman Foundation in our mission to provide continuous support to those in need. Your donations, particularly during Ramadan, enable us to extend vital assistance to vulnerable communities, offering them hope, dignity, and relief from hardship. Together, let us embody the spirit of giving and compassion, enriching the lives of others and earning countless blessings in return.
RAMADAN IN UK
In the UK, Muslims will be fasting during Ramadan 2024 for approximately 14 hours each day. The exact times of suhoor and iftar will vary between cities due to geography and their positioning in relation to the sun.
RAMADAN 2024
Ramadan is a beautiful time for reflection, worship and doing good deeds, and perhaps the additional quietness and solitude will help form the perfect space to facilitate this. In Ramadan, we should focus on remembrance of Allah (swt) (dhikr), performing salah, making prayer and doing good deeds.
One of the most important things we can do, is give in charity. Around the world, millions are living in poverty and facing hunger, thirst, war and illness on unprecedented levels. This Ramadan we are asking you one big question:
RAMADAN CALENDAR 2024
As Ramadan is based on the lunar calendar and the sighting of the moon, the exact dates for the Ramadan calendar for 2024 will not be confirmed until the evening before the beginning of the new month, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Due to the phases of the moon in the lunar calendar, each lunar year is roughly ten days shorter than the usual calendar we look at. This means Ramadan moves approximately ten days earlier each year, and the month does not have fixed dates. This is why over time, Ramadan falls across different seasons, and the length of the daily fasts change depending on the number of daylight hours.
