This year Ramadan wasn’t quite the same as we all know! The holiest month in the Islamic calendar and one of our favourite time of the year could not be embraced and celebrated as we are used to here at Nisa-Nashim. However, we decided lockdown was not going to stop us and we organised a Ramadan Zoom Event! 

During the evening we heard from both outside speakers and Nisa-Nashim co-chairs and trustees. We spoke about fasting and the several benefits this practice has, but we also looked at some family traditions during Ramadan, Iftar recipes, and a small introduction to the Qu’ran. Over 50 women joined us for this ‘shared Ramadan’, in what turned out to be a wonderful celebration! Check out the programme and some pictures from that wonderful evening!
