PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

TONIGHT marks the beginning of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.

Ramadan is a time for reflection, devotion and worship.

However, this year it will also be a very different kind of celebration as everyone continues to observe public health rules around social distancing and staying at home as much as possible. Sadly, this means you cannot visit mosques to pray, or visit family and friends you don’t live with. This year, the safest place to pray is at home.

There are still ways to come together virtually though, like streaming lectures or taraweeh, and organising virtual iftars with loved ones through video-calling apps. Please remember it is absolutely critical everyone continues to observe the rules. This will help protect yourselves, Camden’s communities, and the NHS.

Share how you’re observing Ramadan virtually this year and tag the Council on Twitter @CamdenCouncil #WeMakeCamden #RamadanAtHome
