Hi Guys,
I really feel happy to hear that some of you are interested in fasting
one day with Muslims during Ramadan, We are in the MSA (Muslim Students
Association) and ISN (Islamic Society of Norman) appreciating this idea,
and INVITING you to come to our Mosque to have iftar (breaking the fast)
with us.
This Saturday (Nov 17) we are going to have a big iftar in the mosque.
For those who are interested in fasting this Saturday, Muslims fast from
sunrise (~5:38 AM) to sunset (~5:30 PM). For those who like to
participate with this iftar, regardless if you are fasting or not,
please let us gather at the Cross Roads in the Memorial Union at 5:00
PM, then we will move to the mosque together. If you missed the
gathering, you are welcome to catch up with us in the mosque at this
address (Masjid An Nur, 420 East Lindsey, in front of the duck pond).
All of you are invited to have iftar with the Muslims in the mosque at
any day during Ramadan, and fasting is not necessary. If the SAN wants
to arrange for certain day during Ramadan to fast with the Muslims, you
are all welcome and we will share the iftar with you again at that day.
God bless all of you for your initiative, and we (MSA and ISN) hope to
see you all in our mosque during and after Ramadan.

Dear Folks,
Some of you expressed interest in fasting for a day at the beginning of
Ramadan
in solidarity with Muslims. I wanted to invite you to the mosque in
Norman to
break the fast with the Islamic community. You are welcome to come, but
it
would be good if you could let me know if you want to come, even if you
are not
fasting. Don't worry, you don't have to be a muslim to attend, you only
need
an open mind. Let me know if you are interested in going so I can give
you all
directions and times and things like that, and also so I can let the
Islamic
Society know about how many people will be coming.
Yours,
Jared Melkisetian
