  • Prayer rooms at the BTC, next to D11 and the Chapel at City Hospital
  • Prayer room ( before the main chapel) at Sandwell

What is Ramadan? Muslims around the world fast during daylight hours, meaning they abstain from eating, drinking or engaging in sexual relations during the duration of their fast. Young children, the old, the sick, travelers, and women who are breastfeeding or menstruating are examples of those who are exempt from fasting. Click here to find out more.
