Start with decorations at home
Mix Ramadan décor with the birthday celebration décor at your home. For Ramadan, many people decorate their homes with rings, stars, and moons, or suitable art projects, which can still make excellent decorations for birthdays. With a few balloons and some other things, your home will be ready to celebrate your special day.
Rooftop celebrations
Many apartments have the option of enjoying the lovely breeze on their rooftops. If you have one, make sure you have an iftar with your loved ones there. Decorate your rooftop with all the birthday decorations you like while playing Ramadan songs in the background to enjoy both occasions.

Attend a music festival
In Ramadan, many music festivals take place in several places like the Opera and ElSawy Culture Wheel. So why not book a place and enjoy an unforgettable night? If this is something you enjoy doing alone, then by all means, book a solo ticket. However, if you prefer to have company, ask your friends to join you and have a blessed night together.
Do good deeds
Whenever you do something good in general like helping an old lady cross the road or offering your seat to a pregnant woman on the bus, you automatically feel good. So how about doing good deeds on your special day to feel even more special? Try to feed as many fasting people as possible. Do charity work, help your mom, be a good friend or do anything that will make you feel ecstatic afterward.
How about religious bonding?
The fact that our prophet (Peace be upon Him) never encouraged celebrating birthdays, we as Muslims should not be eager to celebrate birthdays. However, we all know that birthdays are special days for us, so why not celebrate it with family and friends while performing Nawafil and Taraweeh prayer together? You’ll enjoy the company of your loved ones while making your day count.
