Now, what we have just discussed is simply a birds-eye view of what Ramadan is like in the UK. But when you zone into individual Muslim communities and households, the holy month is not really all that different. We still have our early morning meals, and break our fasts after sunset. We still share food and pray Taraweeh together. We still give to charity, read Quran as well as try to engage with our spirituality. And when Eid-al-Fitr does come along, Muslims will take a day off from work, school, and their responsibilities in order to joyfully celebrate with friends and family.

Indeed, priority will always be given to the Easter and Christmas holidays, but the UK has accepted that Muslims are, and always will be, a part of British society. This can be conveyed by leaders and figures wishing Muslims a peaceful Ramadan, or even by the fact that supermarkets stock up on dates, oils, rice and other popular foods. So, even though Ramadan and Eid are not official holidays, we are still able to experience a traditional, blessed and peaceful month.
