In the name of Allah, the Originator, the Inspirer of Faith

Fasting not Feasting is a Ramadhan campaign for piety and transformation and against gluttony and consumerism. We invite participation and partnership from families, communities and institutions. This year we build on the previous years of experience with flashmob iftars, and develop our activities with the objective of embodying the spirit of fasting.

Ramadhan is a time to commemorate, celebrate and comprehend Qur’anic revelation. Muslims make special efforts to discipline their desires, transforming themselves spiritually & practically. We know that fasting is a path to piety, yet see ourselves consumed by indulgence, waste, and distraction during this month. Overcoming these forces requires efforts as individuals & as a community.

This site facilitates collective actions, such as the organisation of Flashmob Iftars in different localities, with the homeless, strangers and neighbours. Other kinds of events include Tarawih with Trees and Camping with Qur'an. In the Resources section, you will find a growing array of practical, creative, inspirational and educative materials for families, mosques and communities. Do browse these pages and sign up, join in the activities and contribute your own.

Kindle the activity wherever you are and keep an eye on the blogs to stay up to date with the latest in your locality!
