Imam Ali Siddiqui Signature Ramadan Iftar 2017

Imam Ali Siddiqui spoke about two of the most important aspects of Ramadan – the Quran and Prophet Muhammed. It is said that the Quran was revealed during the month of Ramadan, and at the same time, God chose Muhammed to be his final prophet. God describes both the holy book and the holy man as enlightened, and as tools for enlightenment for others. Imam Siddiqui spoke about the power of fasting and how it allows Muslims to reclaim control over their lives and over their own behavior. “By making us stronger, we are able to overcome challenges and become closer to God” the Imam stated. In addition, Prophet Muhammed said that Ramadan is about community and the Rumi Forum exemplifies that through their iftar dinners, of how to develop an interfaith community and connect diverse groups of people. “Bringing people together helps us embody the spirit of Ramadan and make the world a more loving and peaceful place”.
