Getting to know our Muslim neighbors! The Muslim American Society of Minnesota hosts Taking Heart to bring Christians and members of other faith communities together with Muslims for food and conversation during Ramadan. If this is of interest to you, we plan on attending the meal on Tuesday, March 26 at 6:30 p.m. located at the Assalam Mosque at 1460 Skillman Ave E, Maplewood, MN 55109. Each person will need to register. Kristen has registration information available. Ramadan is a holy month observed by Muslims around the world. It is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and increased devotion and worship. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from eating and drinking as a way to practice self-discipline, empathy for the less fortunate, and to focus on spiritual growth. Ramadan is also a time for increased prayer, reading the Quran, and performing acts of charity and kindness. It is a time for community, family gatherings, and coming together to break the fast each evening. Ramadan is a special and sacred time for Muslims, filled with blessings, forgiveness, and opportunities for personal growth.
