Islam in Indianapolis
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is the holiest month for Muslims as they believe the Quran, the Islamic holy text, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Allah through the Angel Jibreel (anglicized as Gabriel) during the last ten days of Ramadan. With the new moon sighting on April 21, Ramadan has come to an end, marked by the annual Eid Al-Fitr celebration which traditionally entails congregational prayer, gifts and time spent with family.
