“Ramadan is a time for humankind. It is a time for people to live to become better human beings. It is a time to get closer to solidarity, giving, and feeling connected with others.”
–Dr. Abdelhamid Jaber, Professor of Middle East Studies and Political Science at Rutgers University as quoted in “Can A Christian Learn from Ramadan?” in Middle East Online

At sunset on Friday, August 21st, Muslims around the world began the observance of Ramadan, a time for spiritual renewal through fasting, prayer, and self sacrifice.  A time to reflect on and remember God. A time to reach out and help others less fortunate. A time when fellow Muslims and families come together in prayer and practice. A time of forgiveness.  To Muslims around the world, we offer our best wishes.
