At a time when Muslims across the world are observing Ramadan, Azim Ahmed explores the concept of 'sacred time.'

For most people of faith, observing ‘sacred time’ is a key part of their daily religious life. ‘Sacred time’ might be rhythmic, tied to the movement of the sun and the moon. Or it could be very intimate, created through quiet moments of reflection in one’s home. The religious day as well as the religious calendar is punctuated in many religions through times set aside for worship or celebration.

But the concept of time can vary widely between traditions – from the cyclical understanding of time in Hinduism to linear time as understood by Abrahamic faiths.

In the programme we speak to three guests about these concepts; Hajra Nadeem, a Muslim, a project manager for Google and a life coach who lives in Cardiff. Akhandadhi Das is a Hindu theologian and the former director of Buckland Hall in the Brecon Beacons. Sister Catherine Wybourne is a Benedictine Nun and a Catholic. She is the prioress of Howton Grove Priory in Herefordshire.
