Philly Rising: Making and sharing sacred space for the fellowship of Ramadan

On Sunday, Salim Weldon will host dozens, including those who went to Mecca with him in 2016, for an iftar meal at the Ubuntu fine art gallery in Germantown where they will break fast at sunset. 

“...No matter your wealth status, we are all fasting,” he said. “So from the richest to the people that are less fortunate than us – we're all on the same level. We're all fasting and we're all trying to please Allah and then when we are breaking fast, it doesn't matter who it is if you know this person or not. All Muslims are trying to feed other Muslims, fasting Muslims.”
