Reflect, Reform, Rejuvenate

Ramadan Kareem!

Each year we are offered valuable opportunity to reflect, reform and rejuvenate. One of those times is the start of the year – but for Muslims, the more meaningful time is Ramadan, bestowing upon believers a chance to take stock of the past and embrace profound and lasting change.

Tempo celebrates the goodness of Ramadan, from “10 tips to make the most of Ramadan” to the enlightening and artistic engagement of Etihad Modern Art Gallery. The spirit of giving and community is carried through the issue in the heartwarming piece on The Boy From Aleppo, and the inspirational story of Afnan Laamari, a cancer survivor who is boldly shaping her future.

I take this opportunity to wish all of our readers, our writers, our staff and our partners a blessed Ramadan. May the month bring out the best in all of us, and spread the values of forgiveness, compassion and kindness.
