WACO, Texas During the month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world celebrate by fasting, which means not eat or drinking anything from sunrise to sundown.
It s a month meant for self-reflection, self-improvement, and devotion to prayer and faith. It s a unique tradition that spokesperson of the Islamic Center of Hewitt, Mohammad Altal, said is easy to practice in Waco. Actually I m very surprised with a small town like Waco, where people are very friendly, acceptable, and they don’t make you feel like a minority, said Altal.
