Our A*O family would like to wish a Happy Ramadan 🕌🙏🏿💙💙💙 to all Muslims. Ramadan is the ninth month of the muslim calender, it also serves as the holy month of fasting. This year Ramadan started last night, April 12, 2021 and will last for 30 days. During Ramadan, muslims are obligated to fast from dawn to sunset meaning they abstain from food and drinks (even water) in those hours. The month of Ramadan heavily incorporates worship, prayer, charity and self reflection. Ramadan ends on May 12, 2021 which also marks the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. Phrases such as “Ramadan Kareem” and “Ramadan Mubarak” are common greetings during the month of Ramadan. You don’t have to participate in Ramadan to say those phrases.
Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim brothers and sisters. -May12
