Ramadan, in Islam, is the holy month of fasting. It begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon.
Dear Gannon Family,
Please join me in extending solidarity and spiritual closeness with our Muslim friends as they enter Ramadan, which began yesterday evening and ends on April 9. The ninth month of the Islamic year remembers the time of solitude when the Quran was revealed to the Prophet. May this be a meaningful and blessed time for our Muslim friends, especially in the Gannon family, as they begin this spiritual journey of fasting, prayer and sharing the generosity of the Almighty to those in need. To our Muslim friends: Ramadan Mubarak!
Peace,
Dr. Walter Iwanenko, President
