Today at 2: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ramadan

The Annandale Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee invites you to attend a discussion on the Muslim practice of Ramadan, an annual fast in which believers abstain from food and drink between dawn and sunset for a full month. Learn how Ramadan is practiced and celebrated in Muslim communities and hear personal perspectives from believers about what this tradition means to them. Panelists will each give a short talk, with a Q&A session to follow.

Speakers include:

• Dr. Daoud Nassimi, adjunct associate professor of Islam at NOVA
• Imam Jamal Kakar, Madina Islamic Center of Springfield
• Taiba Haidari, NOVA student
• William Pasko, NOVA student

As Ramadan is a time of giving in Muslim communities, items will also be collected for the Annandale campus Food Bank. If you are able, please bring a non-perishable food or personal care item to the event.

This event will be held virtually and in person at 2 p.m. today in Annandale’s CA-302. Please click HERE to register.

For more information about this event, or if you need accommodations to attend, please contact Rommel Aguilar.
