Ramadan is a time to “super-fast charge yourself spiritually and mentally” for the year ahead, a Muslim representative has said.
Muslims across the Channel Islands are observing the holy month by not eating or drinking during daylight hours.
The period of fasting is broken by a meal after sunset, called Iftar, which Jersey Islamic Centre trustee Dr Sarfaraz Jamali said provided a “sense of belonging” for many.
Imraan Moolla, from the Guernsey Muslim Initiative (GMI), said: “Ramadan comes around once a year, and in that month you super-fast charge yourself spiritually and mentally – hopefully it will last you to the next Ramadan.”
