A Muslim family in Morton Grove, Illinois, is preparing for Ramadan while keeping the conflict in Gaza in mind. The family is focused on prayer and hopes for a brighter future for those suffering in Gaza.
Though she is only 6, Noor Khurram of Morton Grove has a clear understanding of her purpose during Ramadan this year, as a result of the war in Gaza . Her older sister Menaal, 14, also is aware of the suffering of those in Gaza and is focused on prayer during a month when her family and other Muslim s focus on spirituality and good works.
The Khurram girls’ family of five gathered in their home on Monday to finish decorations and prepare for the month-long celebration of daytime fasting and service, but were well aware of the conflict overseas. “There is a lot of pain for a lot of innocent people dying,” said Sana Ali, the girls’ mother. “There is a lot of sadness. I will take the opportunity during Ramadan to make more prayers and hope there is a brighter future for them.
