Do you know what "Ramadan Mubarak" means? "Ramadan Mubarak" is a greeting used by Muslims during the month of Ramadan, one of the holiest months in Islam. "Ramadan" refers to the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, a period of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. "Mubarak" means "blessed" or "happy" in Arabic. So, "Ramadan Mubarak" translates to "Blessed Ramadan" or "Happy Ramadan," and is a way to wish someone a blessed and joyful month. Fasting is a school for educating our soul and purifying our heart, and for correcting our conduct. Therefore, it's not just about abstaining from food and drink, but also about abstaining from everything that is prohibited. During this period, we should avoid saying what is wrong, avoid insults and enmities, as well as bad habits. Below are some of the teachings from the school of Ramadan fasting that we can use in our daily lives, both professionally and personally: ⚫ Integrity: The worship of fasting is a secret worship, between you and God, where no one knows the truth about your fast except God. Some may pretend to fast in front of people, not eating or drinking in front of anyone, but when they are alone, they eat and drink. ⚫ Perseverance: Despite feeling hunger, thirst, and other temptations, we remain firm to achieve the ultimate goal. Usually, the first days are more difficult, but the rest are more tranquil, showing that perseverance is very important to reach the final reward, in the medium and long term. ⚫ Gratitude: Ramadan helps to reestablish the importance of so many blessings that we take for granted, i.e., food, water, sleep, etc. When we are deprived of these things, we realize their value. One of the best feelings we have during this month is the first sip of water at the moment of breaking the fast, where we feel the water flowing through the body. ⚫ Empathy: Fasting teaches us kindness and generosity, as every moment we feel hungry and thirsty, we put ourselves in the position of the poor and needy, and with that, we become more generous in Ramadan and beyond. ⚫ Time management: Fasting teaches us to take advantage of and organize time, as we stop eating exactly at dawn and return exactly at twilight. ⚫ Self-control: Fasting teaches us willpower, as leaving food and drink shows us that we can abandon vices like smoking and other practices that harm us; ⚫ Celebrating success: After the end of each day, we gather to break the fast with family, with friends, and at the end of the month, we celebrate in a grand party, also, to mark the end of Ramadan. This is one of the two festivities celebrated by Muslims in the year. I am very grateful to be part of DHL, a company that respects and values diversity and to have very open managers who respect the team’s differences. During this month, I often hear: “just because you're not having lunch doesn't mean you shouldn't take your lunch break, take the time to rest,” :) 😍

Ramadan Kareem! If you are a Muslim in the workplace, please don’t be afraid to tell your team you are fasting. I know there may be a sense of awkwardness doing so (especially as someone more junior in the team) but it’s important to let people know your requirements and priorities as this month is important for us! Whilst most people understand what happens during Ramadan (fasting… yes, not even water!), not many understand why we do this from a religious and spiritual perspective. From experience, it is helpful to explain the latter to your colleagues so they have context and can fully appreciate our actions. Everyone is always very grateful and you can teach someone something new in the process. For my non-Muslim colleagues, please don’t be afraid to ask!

The blessed month of Ramadan is fast approaching with less than a week to go!! Next week you will most likely hear the phrase Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Kareem - both of which equate to happy Ramadan! A month celebrated and cherished by many Muslims globally, it is a chance for Muslims to reflect on their positive and negative traits, A chance to build good habits, and a chance to strengthen their religious beliefs. As it is my first Ramadan whilst working, I decided to practice my presentation skills by preparing a small and brief slideshow for my team. To help them understand what Ramadan entails, what I will be going through, and what they can do to help! The best thing you can do as a Muslim colleague or if you work with Muslim colleagues is to communicate. Discuss working times to accommodate the change in sleeping patterns, prayer times, and small frequent breaks to ensure you are taking care of your physical health (especially with no lunch break). If you don’t celebrate Ramadan, try to give it a go! Keep a fast along side your Muslim colleagues and experience what it feels like to fast (it’s not as hard as it seems, I promise 😉) And lastly, no, not even water…

Ramadan Kareem to all my beautiful network! <3 Have a blessed month full of family gatherings, prayers, spirituality, kindness, warmth and blessings - Ameen! Do not forget to: - Communicate clearly to your manager and team, how you feel during Ramadan, some people really struggle without coffee, food & water so it is OK to communicate how you feel, especially the first week! - A to do list is a MUST in Ramadan, set priorities for yourself to focus on what's important and hence decrease the stress that can happen during Ramadan at work - Set clear expectations on hours of working, deliverables ...etc.

"Ramadan Kareem! Wishing all my LinkedIn connections a blessed month of reflection, fasting, and spiritual growth. May this Ramadan bring you peace, joy, and prosperity. 🌙✨ #ramadankareem #ramadan2024 #RamadanKareem"
From my family to yours, Ramadan Mubarak! ☪️ This holy month is so special for Muslims—it allows us to reconnect with our faith and to spend more time in the company of our families and communities. And this Ramadan, it’s never been more important for all of us to extend the hand of friendship and to build the bridges that unite us, rather than the walls that divide us. I can't wait to join fellow Londoners from all backgrounds for food and conversation at Iftars around the capital this month.

Promoting allyship in the workplace to ensure everyone feels seen, heard, and belongs | Forbes Contributor
In the U.S., Ramadan began this week. Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, prayers, introspection and giving for over 1 billion people worldwide. To be a better ally to those celebrating, consider: 1. Ask respectfully before making assumptions about fasting, prayer or other personal details. It is always a good practice to get to know people before making general assumptions. Be curious and thoughtful in your inquiry. 2. Learn more about Ramadan. Host a panel discussion, read books or articles together about it. If you have ERGs, get them involved in communicating the significance to employees. 3. Acknowledge your colleagues by exchanging Ramadan greetings by saying “Ramadan Kareem,” which in Arabic translates into “Have a generous Ramadan,” or “Ramadan Mubarak,” which roughly translates into “Happy Ramadan.” On the last day of Ramadan, which is Eid-al-fitr, the greeting changes to “Eid Mubarak.” #ramadan #allyship #diversityandinclusion
