This month billions of Muslims around the world are celebrating Ramadan. Waikato police staff member Fatima Qadami shares how she balances her work and cultural practice during the month. She was born in Al-Tash, a camp in Iraq for political prisoners mostly of Kurdish ethnicity, like Qadami’s parents.

The iftar box contains various delicious and nutritious items, including fresh salad, fruit, and mandi – a traditional rice dish with meat. To balance the diet, nutrient-rich beans are packed in the kit. Additionally, a delectable dessert is served to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. Dates and water are provided for everyone to break the fast. A serving of laban, a refreshing yoghurt drink, completes the iftar box, providing a cool and soothing meal.

These women from Barwaqo, a quiet native village in Wajir town, are tapping into tapestry weaving for income generation. They make colorful baskets, ladies’ bags, steering wheel covers, door mats, and various home interior decors for sale. 

For Palestinians in Gaza, this Ramadan is the hardest one they have ever had to live through. 2.3 million people are on the brink of famine, 80% of them have had to flee multiple times to seek safety from the constant bombings. More than 60% have nothing but piles of rubble to call their homes, and over 100,000 people have been killed or severely injured. CARE has asked internally displaced people living in tents in Rafah what Ramadan means to them.

Tapping into agro farming, Noordin is changing the narrative in a bold move that seeks to set the pace for businesses from the region that can survive the adversities of climate change. Indeed, he is one of the few agriprenuers to watch out in this part of climate devastated Horn of Africa region.

Fazlun Khalid, founder of the UK-based Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences and a member of the core team that put the Al-Mizan Covenant together, says it identifies what Islam can do to ensure future generations inherit a healthy, sustainable planet.

The couple’s extra ordinary journey invigorates the true ideals of a Muslim marriage that is based on love, compassion and support. Mr. Ibrahim and Mrs Fatuma have leveraged each other’s strength to build a blissful home and bright career together.
