A month of blessings and forgiveness
And just like that, we welcome in another month of blessings and forgiveness. The month of extraordinary importance for Muslims has arrived once again! As we see restrictions starting to ease across the UK, we are sure that many Muslims are feeling relieved to commit to Ramadan with somewhat more freedom than last year.
Ramadan is a time for reflecting, a time for seeking forgiveness, repenting sins and seeking guidance for the future. This is a very important month for Muslims as the month focuses on spiritual healing and cleansing not just the body, but the human soul. Ramadan is one of the five pillars which Islam and is regarded very highly by Muslims. For some further context, the tradition is that the Muslim community will fast for 29 days. This can sometimes vary each year depending on the Lunar calendar as Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon. The fasting process consists of nothing passing the lips from sunrise to sunset. During this time, Muslims commit to praying more so than usual, and the main teachings are patience, modesty and spirituality.
Ramadan and Royal Mahal
Across the month, at Royal Mahal we will be reflecting on the architecture of Pakistan and the Middle East, we will be discussing our favourite dishes which will be available to sample throughout. We have compiled together our favourites! We will also be honouring the month, to teach and to acknowledge this holy time. So keep up to date with our socials and tune in to a day in the life of Ramadan!
At Royal Mahal, we are reducing our opening hours in accordance with Ramadan. However, we still are available to cater for all of your Ramadan needs, whether that be something light and refreshing from our drinks range, could that be a mocktail or a mango lassi? Or even some light snacks from our appetizer menu. We are still continuing to serve and deliver the highest quality ingredients to all, and to those who do not practise Ramadan. We believe everyone should enjoy the month of Ramadan, therefore we will be gifting each customer a box filled with foods that Muslims traditionally open their fast with; dates, fruit and pakoras. Be sure to visit us at Sunset for your very own goodie box.
