This is the PDM Ramadan Toolkit.
This is to help you learn about the beautiful traditions of the holy month of Ramadan and take action to support the Palestinian cause. Islam is a beautiful religion filled with diverse people across the Ummah. We love, cherish, and accept everyone who observes this holy month, and we ask Allah (SWT) to protect and guide us. This simple guide to Ramadan encourages Muslims and non-Muslims to understand the basics, deepen their knowledge, and understand key principles for the month ahead.

Focus on Qur'an and Tafseer
During Ramadan, most Muslims dedicate themselves to reading the Holy Qur’an in its entirety, one Surah (chapter) per day. Read more or watch videos about understanding the Holy Qur’an analytically (tafseer), as well as Laylat ul Qadr (the Night of Power).

Ramadan During Genocide
This Ramadan is unlike any other. We are observing this holy month against the backdrop of a live, televised, genocide occuring in Palestine - where Palestinians do not have food for suhoor (pre-dawn meal) or iftaar (sunset meal). This lesson is a painful realization of Palestinians’ past and current Ramadan experiences while under brutal Zionist colonial rule committing war crimes.

Laylat-ul-Qadr
Laylat-ul-Qadr, often called the Night of Power or the Night of Decree, stands as one of the most sacred occasions in Islam. It falls within the last ten nights of Ramadan, marking a period rich with opportunity for believers to gain immense rewards for their acts of faith.

Deep Dive into Political and Social Issues
The Al-Aqsa mosque embodies a deep significance for Palestinians during Ramadan, serving not only as a religious site but also as a symbol of resilience and identity. In this section, we delve into the challenges at Al-Aqsa, how they are misrepresented in the news, and how Al-Aqsa is a beacon of hope amidst the hardships that Palestinians face to be able to access the holy site.

Eid Celebrations and Beyond
Here, we explore the two types of Eid, the traditions it encompasses, and an understanding of how Gazans prepare. This Eid, let's celebrate with a purpose, mindful of the hardships our brothers and sisters in Gaza endure. It's a chance to shift from feeling guilty about our blessings to truly being grateful for them. But gratitude alone isn't enough; we must use what we have to make a difference. Let's promise to keep working and mobilizing until we see a free Palestine.
