With it comes new ways to experience the holy month.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Ramadan, the long awaited guest finally arrives, a breath of fresh air following all the disruption we have been witnessing the past few months. Everything about Ramadan this year feels different. Many of the traditions we practice: visiting friends and family, mosques to pray won&#8217;t be possible this year. But in this time of physical distancing, we can dig deep and reflect on what\u2019s important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Here are five reasons why this year\u2019s holy month is a special one.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A time for reflection and spirituality<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p>As we observe this holy month without the communal prayers we are given a new perspective. In the privacy of our home, being away from the crowd, our solitude is an opportunity for deeper spiritual connections through individual prayers and reflection.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>Beautiful acts of unity&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p>With physical distancing and lockdowns beautiful acts of unity and solidarity are emerging. Across the world many have put that extra effort to be there for each other. Be it virtual iftars, online sermons and lectures or communal initiatives that support those most affected, we realized that there are different yet powerful ways we can come together and help each other.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>Reconsidering our needs<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p>As the hadith narrates \u201cWhoever among you wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body, and he has his food for the day, it is as if he were given the entire world.\u201d In these times, this hadith cannot be more befitting, reminding us what is essential. For years extravagant iftars were associated with Ramadan. In the true spirit of the holy month that encourages moderate consumption, we can opt for simpler iftars. To optimize our resources we need to refocus on what true necessities are and how to change some of our old habits to be more in harmony with our world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>We Are Interconnected&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p>The planet is reminding us that we are all in it together. What started as a pandemic in one city spread across the entire world, proving how interconnected we are. Our ecosystem is fragile and tampering with it can risk our existence.&nbsp; We share this planet and it takes each and every one of us to protect it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>Unique experiences make you a different person<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p>Ramadan this year provides us with a unique experience. A global phenomenon forced us into isolation and denied us the opportunity to observe Ramadan the way we are used to. Yet, it opens a window of opportunity to transform each one of us and paves the way for us to join our efforts.&nbsp; Together we can build a safer and more resilient world ensuring that next Ramadan will be one of many to come where we are praying in mosques and hosting communal iftars again.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2YiylQv\">Take the Ramadan pledge<\/a><\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-6735 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/act\/ramadan\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-1024x768.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-1821x1366.jpg 1821w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2020\/04\/47211c3e-ramadan_greeting_websitesize-01-453x340.jpg 453w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/act\/ramadan\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBetter Days Are Coming Ramadan 2020\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">This ramadan i pledge to make a better world<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/mena\/en\/act\/ramadan\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Join Us\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ramadan 2020 arrives differently this year.

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
