Ramadan in the workplace

Published on February 28

Did you know Saturday March 1st 2025 will be the first day of the Islamic month of Ramadan.

Whether you’re a Muslim observing the fast, or you want to create a supportive workplace, here’s what you should know this Ramadan.

The fasting day is long. The morning meal will be before dawn and people won’t break their fast until dusk. That’s 13 hours without food or drink (yes that’s right, not even water!). This can be challenging for many Muslims especially whilst at work.

That’s why it’s important to support your Muslim workmates, to stand in solidarity with them and create a team culture where everyone is respected and valued, no matter where they’re from or who they worship.

Usually the first ten days are the hardest.

From the team at Elite Touch Group - Ramadan Mubarak to you! Wishing you strength during your fasts, focus in your prayers, and success in all that you aim for this month. May you experience all the blessings that Ramadan offers.
