Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A Ramadan etiquette guide for non-Muslims
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is
considered one of the holiest months for Muslims around the world. It is a time
of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community for Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims
fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and making
love for self-discipline, self-control, and empathy for others. This year’s
Ramadan started on March 12th and ends on April 9th. As Muslims
do not eat or drink after their pre-dawn meal “suhoor” and their break-fast
meal “iftar”, what should non-Muslims do with Muslim friends or co-workers during
the day? Certainly, you want to refrain from inviting your Muslim friends to lunch
or afternoon tea. But what other considerations should you take into account
during the day?
Read the article and learn some tips during Ramadan.
