6 h. ago From ‘salam’ shower gel to ‘ethnic’ bedding, firms want to celebrate Ramadan. But some can’t even spell ‘iftar’ | Nadeine Asbali

The religious festival is a month of fasting, prayer and community – not consuming and comparing ourselves with one anotherNadeine Asbali is the author of Veiled Threat: On being visibly Muslim in BritainSupermarkets have wheeled out the 20kg bags of rice. High-street stores have popped hijabs on mannequins. Cosmetic companies are churning out products scented with pomegranate, cardamom, saffron and “sticky date” – at Lush you can buy Salam shower gel, Noor lip butter and a massage bar that apparently smells like a turmeric latte.

But I also feel bad for the dress, because it really is very pretty, and what has it done to deserve being ghosted by me? That part sounds crazy, I know. But I try to be honest about the thought process of buying clothes and choosing what to wear, even when the truth makes no sense.Like lots of us, I hate seeing stuff go to waste.
