Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Ramadan, the month of fasting, begins next week. God tells us, "... fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may attain salvation." (Quran 2:183). Fasting, therefore, is a great gift for our souls. Additionally, fasting during the month of Ramadan restores our expanded stomachs to their normal sizes, lowers our blood pressure through temporary dehydration, rids the body of harmful toxins, gives our kidneys a much needed rest, and reduces our weight by removing excessive and harmful fat.

While most parts of the world begin fasting on April 13, some locations may start a day earlier. To review the Ramadan starting and ending dates, please visit: https://www.masjidtucson.org/submission/practices/ramadan/#dates

May we have a blessed month of Ramadan, by God's leave, and take advantage of the gift God gives us to grow our souls.
