30 Mosques, 30 States in 30 days

It started last year as 30 Mosques in 30 Days, Aman Ali and Bassam Tariq’s Ramadan journey through NYC’s Muslim Community. Their photo-blog was widely covered in local and national news outlets, from NY1 to NPR. This year the pair will be road-tripping all over the country for the 30 days of Ramadan, breaking their fast in a different state each day.

Here’s a link to their website:
http://30mosques.com/.

This is an awesome way to raise awareness around Ramadan and expose the diversity of the Muslim community in the US.

Re: 30 Mosques, 30 States in 30 days

Oh wow . . . fun fun . A very nice idea .

THAT is one way to avoid having to fast during Ramadan…:slight_smile:


simply Travel every day…

Re: 30 Mosques, 30 States in 30 days

:smack:
.

I wish I could go with them.

I have tried to Fast during Travel, but there is a very strong ruling against it by either Maliki or Shafeii school…to each his own!

Like I said above, I asked a scholar from Syria, he insisted that we not keep fast during travel! so there…

there’s a mosque in las vegas??? :cb:

I suppose if there can be one in a place called HINDUstan, then it can be anywhere.
