June 5th at sunset marks the beginning of Ramadan, Islam's holiest month, where the faithful focus on prayer, daily fasting and charity.  This daily fast cleanses the mind and body, but it is also meant to give Muslims a constant reminder of the less fortunate and their suffering around the world.  Our guests explain the significance of Ramadan and the charitable giving happening right here at home – no matter your faith.

Guests: 
Kauser Haroon, Islamic Foundation of South Florida
Abdulrauf Khan, ICNA Relief USA
Shaikh Shafayat Mohamed, Darul Uloom Institute
