The English Premier League has announced the reintroduction of short breaks during matches to allow Muslim players to break their fast with water and energy gels.
These brief pauses will take place in games that coincide with sunset during the month of Ramadan, when Muslims abstain from food and drink from just before dawn until sunset each day.
Ramadan is a month centred on developing God-consciousness, self-discipline, and personal growth encouraging believers to refrain from harmful behaviour and strive to become better people.
