A Citizenship Quiz for the Month of Ramadan Jun 06, 2016

Show notes

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by all Muslims as a month of prayer and fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad. Because Muslims follow a lunar calendar, the month of Ramadan changes. Ramadan 2016 began in the evening of Sunday, June 5 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, July 5. Peace!

This quiz is dedicated to Mohammed's faithful daughters: Minire Karamanaga, Tasleem Khaldoon, Humaira Saleem, Munni Thankkar, and Kalsoom Bibi of Milpitas, CA. You are all (or soon will be) great American citizens!
