Today our Muslim students, families and staff celebrate Eid al Fitr (Feast of Fast-Breaking), marking the end of Ramadan. This holy month is one of fasting, prayers and reverence for the Qu'ran. We encourage you to review these slides about Ramadan from one of our interfaith partners, Islamic Networks Group (ING). We offer our prayers of peace to all those celebrating this holy month. Muslims across the globe pray to Allah and seek his blessings. **Reminder: The CWL Prayer and Meditation Room is available for quiet prayer throughout the day. Prayer mats for those making daily Muslim prayers and prayer cushions for meditation are available.**
Let us pray. Allah, thank you for the strength that allowed us to come closer to you by fasting from selfish thoughts. May today and the days ahead will be filled with joy and happiness that carry forward the valuable lessons and strengthened community ties of the blessed month of Ramadan. We ask this in the name of all that is Good and Holy. Ameen.
