Views on Ramadan



At long last, I’m back! This week, I would like to offer my views on Ramadan, one of the holiest months in the Islamic faith. This past Monday, June 6th, was actually the first day of Ramadan, so it seems a pertinent topic to discuss.

Unlike the Gregorian calendar that we ubiquitously use that relies on the Earth’s revolution around the Sun, the Islamic calendar is situated around the changing phases of the moon.
