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, will observe Ramadan across 73 chapters nationwide this year.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset.

Ramadan is also a time to increase charity and service to the poor.
