Best YouTube accounts to follow during Ramadan

For Iftar inspo and reassuring Ramadan diaries, the Muslim YouTubers to subscribe to

Last week marked the beginning of Ramadan, a religious festival which Muslim communities all over the world observe as a month of prayer, fasting and spending time with family.

Being under lockdown at a time when most people come together with their loved ones can be difficult, but whether you’re isolating with the whole family or in ones and twos, there’s loads of content out there to keep your spirits up.

We’ve rounded up five of the best YouTubers you can turn to for Iftar inspiration and general tips for making the most of Ramadan under lockdown.

Cooking With Anisa


Leicester ‘Classy Cooking Queen’ Anisa is your go-to if you’re stuck on what to make for Iftar meals or even just your average day-to-day meal plans. Anisa breaks down everything from wholesome biryani dishes to tasty treats like Ferrero Rocher milkshakes for those of us with a sweet tooth.

Chinutay A


If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a mixed bag of lifestyle content as well as recipes, Manal Chinutay and her family will keep you distracted for hours with their Ramadan Diaries. The London-based Canadian’s channel includes make-up reviews, family adventures and general life updates on how she’s keeping busy. For a good laugh, check out her recent attempt to cut her husband’s hair during lockdown.

Zeinah Nur

Another family-focused YouTuber taking part in Ramadan Diaries is straight-talking British-Somali Zeinah Nur. Watching Zeinah’s channel feels like you’re talking to a friend as she regularly imparts great tips for viewers when it comes to ways that we can navigate parenting and practising wellness while in isolation.

Hungry For Goodies

If food-focused ASMR is your bag, you’re in for a treat. This channel gets straight to the good stuff with close-ups of the cooking process for dishes like Halal lasagne, Chicken Chana Chaat and Masala Egg Puffs. Run by British YouTuber Rabia, the latest ASMR Ramadan Recipes have zero dialogue to allow for viewers to really take in the inexplicably gratifying sounds of chopping and sizzling.

Aysha Harun

Where can we apply to trade in our lives for Aysha Harun’s? Aysha’s candy-coloured aesthetic is what dreams are made of as she gives us a peek into quarantine life with her husband during Ramadan. As well as recipes, subscribe for make-up tips, date night vlogs and skincare routines.
