Ramadan begins today. And local Muslims may find it harder to fast this year.
On Wednesday, October 1* , the Muslim community in America will celebrate the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan with communal prayers around the country. (Ramadan is the month on the Muslim lunar calendar during which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs from the break of dawn to sunset.)
Hundreds of Muslim workers at two meat processing plants in Colorado and Nebraska walked off the job earlier this month, protesting their employer’s refusal to grant time to pray and break a 12-hour fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Gerald Hankerson, Outreach Coordinator at CAIR-Chicago, will share a presentation with the Muslim Student Organization (MSO) and its guests at Roosevelt University. Hankerson’s talk will focus on Ramadan and fasting.
The University dining halls may not seem as full as before. Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting and purification, began Sept. 1 and will continue until Oct. 1.
