Rabi al-Awwal 1448 begins around 13–14 August 2026 in the UK, and the month is packed — seerah talks, mehfil-e-naat evenings, grand mawlids, and juloos processions. Here's how the month works, what's on, and how to actually hear about it in time.

Ramadan arrives every year full of intention — and slips away before we've done half of what we planned. Here's a practical guide to the Islamic events, programmes, and gatherings happening across the UK this Ramadan, and how to actually find them.
Manchester has one of the most active Muslim communities in the UK — but most events go unnoticed. Find Islamic events near you this month, and discover how to stay connected to what's happening in your community.
