| From writer Shayma Saadat: Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, is a time for focusing on the spiritual, and being empathetic and charitable to others. During this month, as an act of self-restraint, Muslims fast—meaning no food or water—from sunrise to sunset. The meal at dusk, to break the fast, is known as iftar, a celebratory ritual when families and friends come together. Iftar is a time to share and a time for inclusiveness, when invitations are extended to friends in your community, regardless of their religious background. It is something I learned growing up; my parents taught me that there is always room for another person at our table—especially during Ramadan. |
