Ramadan is the name of a holy month which practicing Muslims observe by abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset. The revelation of the Quran began in Ramadan, so during this month, focused Muslims put extra time and effort into reading the Quran and spend the nights of this holy month in prayer and worship. Ramadan is also a time for entertaining family and friends and getting together for Iftar parties — the daily meal enjoyed at sunset during Ramadan.
Ramadan decorations are a great way to get the mind, body, and spirit ready for a focused month of worship. Decorating your home for Ramadan also helps elevate the festive mood to create lasting memories with your loved ones. It’s important to note that Ramadan decorations are a cultural expression of the holiday. Islam as a religion does not dictate anything about how to decorate for Ramadan. Each Muslim culture around the world has their own approach to Ramadan decorations, spanning from not decorating for the holiday at all to decorating with culture-specific decor. In North America, where it’s common for holidays to have colors associated with them, there is a case for decorating with purple and yellow for Ramadan and many companies offer decor within this color scheme.
We’ve curated the best Ramadan decoration ideas you can shop online from Amazon, Etsy, and diverse-owned small businesses. Our picks range from traditional to modern and whimsical. Happy celebrating!
