Iftar With the Devil
by Shezena T. Mohammed
This last Ramadan, as with every Ramadan, my family and I spent a lot of time at the masjid. I don’t know how it is with any other masjids but with mine, and the ones that I have gone to in the past, usually every night of Ramadan someone will host a dinner at the masjid and the community will all get together and eat. This is a nice thing to look forward to every Ramadan. It builds unity and people get to know each other and form bonds and relationships. I usually like going and seeing the people working together and treating each other like how our Prophet (saaw) taught us. It makes me smile seeing it and I feel good that I am in a such a good Muslim community. But not this Ramadan.
