Umm-Al-Qura calendar

The blessed month of Ramadan is one of the most important dates in the Islamic calendar. It’s a time dedicated to fasting, prayer, worship, reciting the Qur’an, self-reflection, abstaining from sinful acts, and connecting with Allah (SWT). This auspicious month is full of great spiritual rewards for all Muslims and is also a time when many choose to give zakat charity to those in need.

When is Ramadan 2025 in the UK?

The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, and as such, the Ramadan 2025 dates will vary from the previous year; typically, it starts approximately 10 days earlier each year. So, when does Ramadan start in 2025?

Five Pillars of Islam

The Five Pillars of Islam are the religious foundations for every Muslim believer and comprise:

  • Shahadah – the declaration of faith - involves stating that there is one God, Allah (SWT), and Muhammad (PBUH) is His Messenger.
  • Salah – obligatory prayer - must be performed five times a day (before sunrise, midday, late afternoon, after sunset, and before midnight).
  • Zakat – alms, or charity - Zakat payments are typically given during the holy month of Ramadan as it holds a much greater reward.
  • Sawm – fasting - all eligible Muslims must practice it between the hours of sunrise and sunset during Ramadan.
  • Hajj – the annual pilgrimage to Mecca - all able Muslims must make this journey at least once in their lifetime.

As Salah (prayer) is such a big part of everyday life in Islam, and each obligatory prayer is dictated by the time of day, prayer timetables are compiled to assist Muslims in their everyday life. This is even more important during Ramadan; therefore, we have compiled a Ramadan Calendar for your prayers.

We wish you a blessed month filled with infinite reward. Ameen.
