For nearly 2 billion people, tomorrow isn’t just the start of March. It’s the start of a test. Imagine working your 9-5, but… No coffee. No lunch break. Not even water. Jasmin Alić’s post reminded me that LinkedIn IS the platform for this. Because cultural literacy and religious tolerance make us better humans. Together, we can make Ramadan easier for everyone. 1️⃣ To my non-Muslim connections: Fasting isn’t just skipping meals. It’s dawn to dusk. No food. No water. No negativity. But that also means energy dips. Focus wavers. Productivity slows. Cut your fasting colleagues some slack. Let them leave early for iftar. Offer a hand with suhoor. Small gestures, huge impact! 2️⃣ To my fellow Muslims: Tolerance goes both ways. Not everyone around you will be fasting. And they don’t owe you an explanation. Health reasons, personal choices; none of our business. Don’t guilt anyone for eating near you. If seeing someone drink water makes you angry… You’ve missed the whole point. And to all my corporate (slave) besties: take it easy on yourself this month. Ramadan Mubarak, and good luck! 🌙 ♻️ Repost to spread awareness
