Ramadan Mubarak to all from the International Student Office! May this month be generous with blessings, love, and peace to you and your loved ones.

Some reminders about Ramadan:

- Ramadan is a holy month of fasting practiced by Muslims all around the world. It will end approximately on May 12th and goes by the lunar calendar.

- Fasting means no food or water- not even chewing gum. Fasting is done from dawn until dusk. Students may be up until midnight for prayers and up again to eat before dawn. In PEI, this translates to roughly 16 hours and those studying abroad could be fasting for up to 21 hours.

- Not all Muslims may be fasting and may participate in the religion in various and different ways. There are many reasons for this and it doesn’t dictate a person’s religiosity.

- There are many resources available online, should you like to learn more.

Muslim students, faculty and staff may be hungry, dehydrated and tired come the afternoon and towards the end of the day. Due to the pandemic and limitations on gatherings, this may feel lonelier for those practicing. It is commonly a very social time where communal gatherings to break fast, eat together, and pray occur. 

We thank you all for creating a caring and supportive environment for our Muslim community on campus this Ramadan and every day.

Thank you,

The UPEI International Student Office
