Writer Nafeesah has appealed to non-Muslims to show consideration for Muslims observing the Ramadan fast by avoiding eating and drinking in their presence when the holy month begins.
In a message shared ahead of Ramadan, Nafeesah urged non-Muslims not to deliberately tempt Muslims who will be observing the daily fast from dawn until sunset.
She encouraged people of other religious backgrounds to be mindful of those fasting, stressing that simple acts of consideration and respect could make the fasting period more comfortable for Muslims.
Nafeesah made the appeal in a social media post, noting that Muslims abstain from food and drinks during daylight hours as part of their religious observance.
She wrote:
“Dear non-Muslims, as Ramadan is just 92 days away, please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting. Please avoid drinking in their presence.
“Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast. Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset. A little consideration and respect go a long way.”
Her message has drawn attention to the importance of religious tolerance, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths as Muslims prepare for the holy month.
