Reaching out to Muslims at Ramadan
Ramadan is a great time for Christians to reach out to Muslims and to make and renew friendships. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, and during Ramadan, Muslims who are able to do not drink or eat between dawn and dusk. (Pregnant women, children who have not reached puberty, the ill, elderly, and travellers should not fast.) But after dusk, families and communities come together for joyous Iftar meals. Many mosques organise community Iftars where the wider community is invited. If you love your Muslim neighbour as yourself, then you will want to make friends with Muslims, and this is a great opportunity.
