Ramadan Etiquette: Work w/ Muslim Colleagues
By boyet_luzana •
1. Try not to invite Muslim colleagues to:
- Meetings which include lunch
- meetings extending after 5 p.m.
- department parties (or social events) during Ramadan.
2. Be understanding that it is the most special month in a Muslim’s calendar.
3. It is common to take vacation during the last week of Ramadan.
4. Eid/Biram Day is off, especially for those with family.
5. Greeting colleagues saying: “Ramadan Mubarak” is a very nice way to cross into a new cultures.
6. If invited to share Iftar, try to make it… it will be fun!
Ramadan Mubarak!
Plenty of companies allow staff to eat and drink behind closed doors (i.e. in their individual offices). It's also common for the muslim employees in a particular office to say that it's fine for the non-muslims to go ahead and eat and drink, as they don't feel everyone should suffer just for them. Just check what is and isn't ok.
it is possible to have lunch meetings during ramadan as all restaurants are closed and do not serve lunch if I am not wrong..
Secondly no one keeps departmental fucntions or social events during fasting times in Ramadan.. According to Qatar rules, no one is allowed to eat or drink in any public place during ramadan.. Most companies have this policy as well that no one should have tea/coffee/water or food during ramadan..
Ramadan Mubarak - A phrase of greetings to congratulate each other. It literally means, "Blessed Ramadan!"
try "Ramadan Kareem!" means A bountiful and peaceful Ramadan
