Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim brothers and sisters.
While non-Muslims are generally well aware of the dos and don'ts to be practiced during Ramadan, here are some tips we should keep in mind:
1. Do not eat or drink in public during fasting hours. Most Muslims in the UAE fast during Ramadan. It's important to respect those who are fasting and avoid eating or drinking in public.
2. Do dress appropriately and do not wear revealing and tight fitting clothes โ MODESTY IS KEY.
3. Donโt get into debates, arguments or fights during Ramadan. It is the month of peace and serenity. Swearing in public is particularly offensive during Ramadan.
4. Stay calm. Work might be a less little productive and people who are fasting might be a little more tired, but be patient with everyone this month.
5. Donโt play loud music as it may offend those who are fasting. Playing music through your headphones is allowed as long as it is not audible to the people around you.
6. Don't tell your Muslim friends you want to fast to lose weight. Ramadan is not about fasting to lose weight. It's about teaching yourself discipline. It's about abstinence, about keeping yourself pure.
7. IFTAR is a special meal. It's the meal you have after ending the fast for that particular day. So, if you are a non-Muslim who is invited by a Muslim friend for IFTAR, you should not refuse, and you should certainly not say you won't eat because you are not fasting.
Again, Ramadan Kareem everyone from Pinoy Vloggers in Abu Dhabi.
