'Be Proud of Who You Are': Bay Area Muslims Welcome Ramadan in ... (KQED)

Starting this week, Muslims around the world will be observing Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, spiritual healing and reflection.

And while El-Bakri says the exact night itself is not specifically known, it took place "on one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan." That the community can have two different days to mark the start of Ramadan and two different Eids is "normal, natural and actually beautiful," he says. It is, says imam El-Bakri, "the birth month of the Quran." The beginning and end of a lunar month are determined when the newborn crescent moon — or waxing crescent moon — is seen in the night sky, appearing one night after the new moon. [The MCC East Bay also has a schedule for iftars](https://mcceastbay.org/), and all are encouraged to join; registrations are encouraged so organizers can ensure the right amount of food is available. So because there are two methods of determining a new lunar month or Ramadan — through astronomical calculations and moon sightings — Muslims around the world sometimes observe the beginning of Ramadan (and its end, Eid al-Fitr) on different days. [Muslim Community Association of the Bay Area](https://mcabayarea.org/) offers daily iftars for the general public — Muslim and non-Muslim alike; donations are recommended but not required. She’s planning to attend the annual moon-sighting event in the Bay Area with her family — an event they try not to miss — and also to read and reflect more on the teachings of the Quran. Ramadan feels like it always comes and goes so quickly, she says — but she nonetheless hopes to "really take the extra step to connect with the Quran" this year. Maihafizah Badiuzzaman moved to the region from Malaysia over a decade ago, and says this year she’s especially looking forward to creating a fun Ramadan environment for her kids. Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan.
