Ramadan Mubarak

Hi everyone & As-salamu alaykum (Peace be upon you). A while ago @GlenM made a post acknowledging that we are a diverse community with a variety of celebrations/important days. @Tazzie has been doing a good of ensuring we celebrate/acknowledge the different celebrations through either forum events or posts. In an attempt to continue coming together and celebrating the important days/festivities, I wanted to take a few minutes to pin down a post to acknowledge and celebrate the start of the Muslim holy month, Ramadan. Tomorrow and in some days, the day after tomorrow the month will begin.

It is the month of fasting where Muslims fast for a month, focusing on their religion and their connection with God. We have a very diverse community and therefore we have Muslims among us! Many of whom will be fasting. You can read more here.

You can be supportive by doing the following:

✰ Be sparing in food/drinks talk in public rooms (recommended, not required)

✰ We use a lot of ice-breakers in our community (forums/rooms). You can choose to avoid food/drink-related activities/ice-breakers. (recommended, not required)

✰ Leaders, be mindful of the workload of your team members and offer support if they need a break

✰ Wishing Ramadan Mubarak

Wishing Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims of our community! We hope that you find peace and joy in this blessed month.

Feel free to answer one or all of the following questions.

✰ Do you have any plans for the month?

✰ What does the month mean to you?
