Muslims welcome Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, as a period of fasting, self-evaluation and spiritual growth. 1.7 billion people (25% of the Earth’s population) will pray and fast during daylight hours. In the UK, that is nineteen hours a day. Muslims everywhere are encouraged to be devout in prayer, read the Quran and practise kindness to the people around them. Muslim believers are the majority in 49 countries, which makes Islam a huge part of the world; the effects of the fast are so great that they affect the global economy. During Ramadan, Muslims worldwide will seek blessing on their lives and families and peace for those in their communities. During this time, the Church can be praying for Muslims, particularly for practising Muslim refugees, many of whom are homeless, without possessions, needing refuge, seeking ‘spiritual relief’ in their brokenness.
