The Holy Month of Ramadan this year is perhaps one of the most unique many of us have ever experienced.

As we abide by the preventive and precautionary measures in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Qatar and continue to stay home, many of the activities that involved gatherings and going outdoors are simply out of question now.

If you’re looking to use your time to enrich your Islamic knowledge or engage in some meaningful activities, have a look at the below online activities that Qatar Foundation will be organizing throughout the blessed month of Ramadan.

"Throughout Ramadan, Qatar Foundation is offering a host of online events and activities for the entire community of Qatar to participate in from their own homes, and we invite people of all ages and cultures to explore them and benefit from them," Khalifa Essa Al Kubaisi, manager of Media Relations and Press Office, QF said.

"While we may be physically apart, Ramadan brings us together through the power of faith and unity, and the events and activities that Qatar Foundation is providing reflect the true spirit of this special time," he added.
