American-Muslims observe 30-day fast to enhance spirituality and increase their service to humanity.

Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide. It will commence Wednesday, July 10th and end on August 8th.

Tens of thousands of American Muslims belonging to one of the nation’s oldest Muslim organizations, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA are observing Ramadan across 73 chapters nationwide this year. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. Fasting, a discipline also practiced by Jesus Christ and many honored Biblical Prophets, is a time to reflect, repent, and become spiritually pure, which, in turn, helps lead to societal peace. Ramadan is also a time to increase charity and service to the poor.

Community members will gather at sunset to break their fast as part of the typical Iftar dinner service. The public is welcome to join their neighboring Muslims to partake in Ramadan festivities.
