Mixed Emotions as Muslims Welcome Holy Month of Ramadan

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Muslims across Australia are welcoming the Holy month of Ramadan from tonight, Monday 11th March with a mix of emotions.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, holds spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. It is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.

This year Ramadan comes amidst an ongoing war in the Middle East, as well rising prospects of a third world war.

Closer to home, we find our communities becoming increasingly polarised. In this context, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is hosting an Iftar Dinner on Sunday 17th March, with leaders from the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths breaking bread together under one roof.
