CLEVELAND — April marks the holy month of Ramadan for millions of Muslims across the world. Ramadan is a time filled with fasting, prayer and sacrifice which falls on the 9th month of the Islamic Lunar calendar.
Islam is the second-largest religion in the world behind Christianity; in many places, Muslims have battled peoples' lack of understanding. “Not specifically Arabs, but a lot of Muslims in general from all walks of life [are] from India, Pakistan, Palestine, Jordan, Syria,” said Saleh.“We may be a neighbor to you, we may live across the street, we may be on your bus with your kids,” said Saleh.“It's a sacrifice, getting closer to God, understanding that there are people that are less fortunate than us that don't get the food and don't get the water that we do,” said Saleh.
“It's important because it's unity and joining together and praying together and eating together,” said Kawthar Jaffal. For her family, these dinners are special. They're filled with uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters breaking fast, enjoying each other's company and worshipping. Also during that time, Jaffal makes sure they are leading by example because she looks forward to the day the next generation will follow in those same traditions.
