On Saturday August 22, 2009, Muslims in North America began celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan, thanking Allah (God) for the revelation of the  Holy Qur'an through Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

These 30 days were observed with the reading of the word of Allah (God) contained in the Holy Qur'an; the abstention from food and drink (fasting) from sunrise to sunset; and the humble and sincere daily prayers of those who desire to submit his or her will to do the Will of Allah (God) can foster a healing process of the ills within our selves, our families, our community and the whole world.
