COLUMBIA- As Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, comes to an end, the local Muslim community in Columbia has to juggle between celebrating Ramadan and keeping track of the current expansion of their facilities. Shakir Hamoodi, an imam at the Islamic Center and the mosque outreach coordinator, stressed the importance of the project, especially during Ramadan. “This is the month of giving,” Hamoodi said. “This is the month where we feel the need of such a project. Hopefully in the future, when it is finished, we can have the space for prayer, for teaching, for playing.” The Islamic Center of Central Missouri, which has been a constant stable in Columbia, has been expanding their facilities since July 2019. Hamoodi says the expansion has been long overdue.
