Ramadan Mubarak!
Ramadan, one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims, is expected to begin on or around Wednesday, March 22 (based on the official sighting of the moon) and conclude on April 21. Ramadan Mubarak (pronounced “Mu-ba-rack”) is a greeting that means congratulations on the arrival of the holy month. Ramadan Kareem can also be used as a greeting and literally means “Generous Ramadan.”
We in the Office of Spiritual Life wish all of our Lewis & Clark Muslim community Ramadan Mubarak this week as Muslims enter this month of devotion and fasting.
