Ramadan Mubarak LinkedIn :) Effective tonight after sundown your fellow Muslim colleagues will be celebrating Ramadan. For those of you who do not know; Ramadan is a holy month in which we fast from just before sunrise till after sunset. The meal before sunrise is called Sahuoor and the meal after sunset is called Iftar. 📅 The Muslim calendar is Lunar so every year the dates for Ramadan go back about 20 days approximately Our fasting consists of not consuming any food or drink (yes even water) during the day In essence, we have a really early breakfast, miss lunch, and have a kind of a late dinner! The biggest virtues we are encouraged to apply this month (and year-round) are: Patience Charity Community Ramadan is broken down into 10-day sections: The first 10 days are the days of Mercy We are encouraged to be gentle with everyone around us. The second 10 days represent Forgiveness. We are encouraged to forgive people around us: 🚗 Forgive that driver who cut us off 📞 Pick up the phone and call that friend/family member we haven’t been in talking to 🏠 Make peace with your neighbor And the list goes on :) The final 10 days emphasize reflection: Reflecting on ourselves, our goals, who we want to be, where we want to go, and how can we improve ourselves. For those of you who look forward to sharing a meal with your Muslim colleagues during the work day we appreciate your patience ! The month will come and go before we know it :) Cheers to Ramadan 2024 :) May we make the most of it! #RamadanMubarak #FastingReflections #CommunityCelebration #RamadanCheers

In the coming days 1.9B Muslims across the globe will be welcoming the month of Ramadan - a time of fasting and reflection. In the spirit of diversity and inclusion, I’d to share its importance. It’s about FASTING: - Muslims fast for 30-days from sunrise to sunset - they wake up well before sunrise to eat a meal - then abstain from food + drink until sunset 🍞🥛 ❌ - they break their fast at sunset, followed by prayer. - there are some reasons that a Muslim may not fast - e.g. traveling, sickness, etc… Although fasting is key… What’s even more important is the spiritual aspect It’s about PRAYER - Muslims are expected to pray 5-times a day - but in Ramadan they take it to another level - they increase their prayer + remembrance - this may include evening prayers at their local mosque - or at home with family - as well as increased recitation of the Quran 🛐 📘 It’s about RE-CONNECTING SPIRITUALLY SELF-IMPROVEMENT SELF-REFLECTION COMPASSION KINDNESS It’s about GRATITUDE It’s about GIVING BACK - charity plays a significant purpose in Ramadan - Muslims are encouraged to increase their charity this month - it can be in the form of money or something intangible - helping someone in need, smiling at someone you know or don’t know - even a kind word It’s about coming together as a family, friends and community. Muslims get together to break their fast on the weekends or gather at their local community center or mosque. ………………………….. Some things you can do for your Muslim colleagues: • Well wishes: you can wish them a blessed or happy Ramadan • Lead with empathy: they are balancing work whilst abstaining from food and drink • They’ll be requesting time off for Eid (day of celebration to commemorate the end of Ramadan) 🎉🥳 I’d like to personally thank the leaders and co-workers in my career who’ve been considerate and respectful to me during Ramadan and throughout the year ❤️ P.S. to save everyone the age old question about fasting, “not even water?” Yup, not even water 😅

Eid ul Adha: A Celebration of Sacrifice and Compassion Eid ul Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, holds profound significance for both humanity and nature. This sacred observance commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It teaches us the virtues of selflessness, compassion, and devotion. Beyond its spiritual essence, Eid ul Adha fosters a deep connection with nature. The practice of sacrificing an animal is accompanied by a strong emphasis on ethical treatment and sustainable practices. The meat is shared with family, friends, and the less fortunate, ensuring that the blessings are distributed widely. This act of charity promotes community bonding and support for the needy. Moreover, Eid ul Adha encourages mindful consumption. By sharing resources and reducing waste, the festival underscores the importance of living harmoniously with the environment. It is a reminder to reflect on our own consumption habits and their impact on the planet. In essence, Eid ul Adha is not only a testament to faith but also a celebration that underscores our responsibility towards each other and the natural world. Let us embrace its teachings by nurturing kindness, generosity, and ecological mindfulness in our daily lives. #EidulAdha #Sustainability #Compassion #Community #FaithInAction #EthicalLiving

Happy Ramadan 2024 It's that time of the year again and so begins another special month where more than 25% of the world's population observe Islam's most sacred month of Ramadan. Like every year I am posting a few points for anyone who wants to learn more about it and support their Muslim colleagues who are fasting ⬇️ 📅 1. Muslims believe that Ramadan is the month when the first verses of the holy book Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad more than 1,400 years ago. 🔍 2. Ramadan is a month of spiritual focus, discipline, and most importantly, gratitude. 💕 3. We fast from dawn to sunset and yup: "not even water" (around 13-15 hours of fasting this year in the US) but it's not just about abstaining from food/drink; more importantly it's about being a state of goodness by giving charity and practicing patience and kindness. 🕰 4. Our sleeping hours/caffeine intake changes so we might seem tired. We don't expect to get special treatment while fasting, but it would be kinder to check our meeting hour preferences. ❓ 5. It means a lot to us when you wish us a "Happy Ramadan" or “Ramadan Mubarak.” No question is a bad question, we are happy to answer any questions people have. 🤲 6. Ramadan is both an individual and community-focused event, and hence weekends are usually busy with community gatherings to 'break' fast together. It is quite common for non-Muslims to join in breaking of the fast with their Muslim friends to show support. 🎉 7. The end of Ramadan is celebrated with Eid-ul-Fitr which consists of three-day holiday where families visit each other, exchange gifts and socialize. Please support your Muslim colleagues in taking time off to celebrate. Ramadan Mubarak to all my family, friends and colleagues! (copied from Saubiya Kidwai Thanks for sharing)

Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders 🌟🇮🇳 The greatest freedom we can grant our children is the freedom to dream—unhindered by the limitations society tries to impose. For young girls, this means dreaming without boundaries, forging their own paths, leading in ways that are authentic to them, and speaking their truths with confidence, without fear of being labeled. We must instill in our girls the courage to dream beyond the societal norms that seek to confine them. This is the freedom we owe them—the freedom to imagine a world where they can be anything they aspire to be. In India, women hold just 8.9% of board seats in publicly traded companies and occupy only 5% of senior management positions. This underrepresentation highlights the critical need for diversity and inclusion in leadership roles—because a more diverse leadership is not just fair, it's crucial for the success and innovation of any organization. Recently, We at The Indus Valley had the privilege of offering career guidance to the inspiring young minds at St. Lazarus Home along with AWARE INDIA . Their eagerness to learn and their curiosity about the world they will shape was nothing short of humbling. It’s a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share—to give back, to support, and to empower the leaders of tomorrow. Together, let's make this vision a reality. 💪✨ #EmpowerHer #Leadership #Mentorship #FutureLeaders #DreamBig

Ramadan starts today! Here are 5 ways to support your employees, colleagues, and employees 1. Many Muslims are experiencing "survivor's guilt" this Ramadan as Palestinians are dying of starvation and bombs. A simple "how are you?", "how can I support you during this month" can go a long way! 2. Muslims don't know when Ramadan will start or end until the night before. Open communication and flexible scheduling are key. 3. For 29 or 30 days, nearly 2B Muslims observe a dry fast from sunrise to sundown. This means they abstain from food and drink (amongst other things) during the daylight hours. And yes, not even water 4. During this month Muslim employees and students may seek reasonable accommodations such as a private space to pray or an additional break during working hours to break the fast. Likewise, they may as for 1-3 days off to celebrate the end of Ramadan or "Eid" 5. Charity and community service are prioritized during Ramadan. So organizing volunteering activities or a company fast-a-thon, where a donation is made for every employee who observes the fast, are great for team morale. The most important consideration is that Muslims want to feel seen and understood, they are not seeking special treatment or pity. Muslims have achieved amazing things while observing the fast due to the belief that God is the source of energy, not food or water What did I miss? Share in the comments.
