RAMADAN MUBARAK

Begins on 23 March 2023 and ends on 21 April 2023

Warm greetings to our Muslim friends as they enter a period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving.  

Ramadan (also known as Ramadhan or Ramzan) is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving and self-accountability for Muslims in Australia. The first verses of the Koran (Qu'ran) were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (also written as Mohammad or Muhammed) during the last third of Ramadan, making this an especially holy period.  

Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year in Islamic culture. The month of Ramadan is spent by people of Muslim faith fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. At the end of each day’s fast, Muslims gather for Iftar, the evening meal to break their fast.

The NCCA encourages you to participate in an Iftar dinner.  Reach out to your local Muslim community and make new friends, this is the perfect opportunity to educate and create an inter-faith gathering with delicious food, friends, and conversation.
