The New Arab
About this episode

In this episode of The New Arab Voice, we want to highlight how Muslims all over the world, are coping with the sudden change of circumstances and how they are finding creative ways to keep alive the sacred practices of their faith during the holy month of ramadan. 

We will also be speaking with UK-based General practitioner Dr. Milad Hilli who has all the answers to your health-related queries surrounding Ramadan and Covid-19.

At the end of this special Ramadan episode, I will speak to my colleagues from The New Arab newsroom who have been preparing earnestly for Ramadan, to understand how they are coping with the Loss of communal spaces and being cut off from extended families and communities.

Lastly, you’ll hear my chat with my colleague and vegan food aficionado, Diana Alghoul, about why food is important to keep your body and mind healthy during this ramadan.
