Ramadan is over. This blog has not been too active. Let me try to revive it over the next few days with a few interesting entries.
The first is the range of interesting activities in Ramadan in NYC. On the 'big night' of the 27th Ramadan, muslims are out in very large numbers to pray and worship and local mosques prepare for this special event usually by organising that the khatme-kuraan in taraweeh takes place on the same nite, and also that special services are planned for that evening until the pre-dawn Sehri/Soohor meal.
At the 96th street mosque in Manhattan, the programme ran through the night, with a large crowd in attendance, with a brother accepting Islam and taking his shahadat, and also many women and children in the mosque.
The program (picture alongside) gives you an idea of what was planned. I didn't stay for the evening, but it looked very promising, although the program was running an hour late, without much explanation for the delay.
