Ramadan on TikTok: A Global Cultural Exchange and Community Building Through Short-Form Content

During Ramadan, a significant month in the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Pakistan, and South Asia, people reflect, practice spirituality, give back to the community, and celebrate family traditions.
Ramadan is not just a personal reflection period but an opportunity to share cultural heritage with the world.

Content platforms like TikTok have become valuable repositories of cultural traditions, allowing people from diverse backgrounds to engage with and appreciate the narratives and nuances of different regions and faiths through short-form interactive content.

The text discusses how content platforms, such as TikTok, are used during Ramadan to connect people with their roots and foster empathy and understanding.

Ramadan-specific hashtags, like #Ramadan2024, are used to share moments of unity, joy, and cultural celebrations, spreading the spirit of the season globally.

TikTok has introduced a comprehensive guide for the holy month, featuring the #Ramadan2024 hashtag as a digital gathering place for creators to share content on home decor, iftar recipes, customs, fashion trends, and skincare routines.

The hashtag has gained over 769.4K posts, emphasizing the importance of ongoing dialogues and community building during Ramadan.

During Ramadan 2021, social media platforms have seen an increase in engagement with various hashtags reflecting the diverse experiences of people observing the holy month.

Some popular hashtags include #RamadanPreps, featuring videos on marketplaces and family activities; #TikTokCookBook and #WhereToEat, where people share Ramadan recipes and dining spots; #WhatToWear and #TikTokSalon, providing fashion inspiration; and #RamadanHealth, offering tips on maintaining health during fasting.

Additionally, #WhatToWatch has become a hub for TV show recommendations and analysis, especially for exclusive Ramadan series.

Social media platforms like TikTok are also being used to amplify voices and advocate for inclusivity and tolerance, fostering a sense of community worldwide.

TikTok users sharing their Ramadan experiences offer a glimpse into the diverse cultural practices and values of various Muslim communities.
