On Saturday, May 27, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was the guest speaker on Day 1 of the annual Ramadan Prayer Line.

“My dear brothers and sisters, once again, by the favor of Allah, we are gathered together to celebrate this book, The Qur’an, that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, during the Holy Month of Ramadan. We thank Allah to be alive one more time to enter this great fast. There were many who were with us last Ramadan who are not with us this year. We pray that those who have gone on that the reward of their faithfulness, and the reward of their service to Allah, that we will not be deprived of their reward. But certainly we are now in a great trial after those who lived their life for Islam and died as Muslims that returned to Allah: We who are yet alive are now in a great time of trial, particularly in our world of Islam,” he said.

“So all of the new Believers: It may be hard for you, but set your mind, set your will. Because once you do it one day, you can do it two; if you do it two, you can do it three—and if you do it three, you can do it for 30 days. And at the end of every night, after Salatul Maghrib, and iftar (the breaking of the fast), what a day of joy. As we have been in the Muslim world during Ramadan: When it is iftar over there, it is nothing but joy, joy, joy through the night; fellowship, brotherly love, eating and drinking. Not bad drinks, good drinks of water and juice, and milk. Oh, what a wonderful month this is going to be!”
