American-Muslims observe 30-day Fast

Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide. It will commence Wednesday, July 10th and end on August 8th.

Tens of thousands of American Muslims belonging to one of the nation’s oldest Muslim organizations, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, will observe Ramadan across 73 chapters nationwide this year. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. Fasting, a discipline also practiced by Jesus Christ and many honored Biblical Prophets, is a time to reflect, repent, and become spiritually pure, which, in turn, helps lead to societal peace. Ramadan is also a time to increase charity and service to the poor.

If you are interested in learning more about Ramadan, please join the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on Saturday July 13th, 2013 around 10-11:00 am.
