Do’s:

  • Wish your Muslim friends “Ramadan Kareem” or “Ramadan Mubarak.”

  • Show respect for those who are fasting by abstaining from eating in front of them.

  • Accept dinner (iftar) invitations from friends, colleagues, and neighbors. It will be an opportunity to share cultures, whether you are fasting or not.

  • Listen to music quietly on headphones or in your house without disturbing others.

  • Be mindful of the fact that your Muslim peers are fasting, oftentimes with modified sleep schedules to accommodate their lives.
