Religious Diversity @ Workplace: Working With Muslims

There’s nothing I find more impressive than a workplace that respects ethnic and religious diversity, a workplace that supports its employees regardless of where they come from, or what they believe in; especially when this respect and support stems from genuine open-mindedness and tolerance, rather than it being the result of fear of work laws and legal regulations.

I’m sure that every person belonging to a certain religion, experienced at a certain point in their career lives either harassment, or discrimination or any kind of irritating discomfort at their workplace. The good that could come out of this negative behavior is that some use it to spread awareness about their own religions in a funny way like the following video I’m sharing in this post :)
Employers & employees should understand that when a colleague practices in their own break time during their work day, they’re just being loyal and committed to their religions… something that’s frowned upon in many parts of the world, although it should be the exact opposite. Because a committed person, is a committed professional, and a committed professional is a successful workplace. Respect, tolerance, and coexistence reflect the spirit of a workplace, their presence creates harmony and happiness, that leads to more and more success on so many levels.

Anyways, me being a Muslim, I chose to share this funny take on Muslims at workplace:
