Ramadan is celebrated by Muslims in many countries around the world and it is a time of introspection. Ramadan’s dates are determined by a lunar calendar. Muslims fast to remind themselves of those less fortunate and strengthen their relationship with their faith. Muslims break their dawn to dusk fast during Ramadan with a meal called Iftar. It is traditional to break one’s fast with a date. San Diego Public Library hopes you can make it to one of our Ramadan events this year!
