I have been blogging a lot recently about the difficulties that Muslim people have been facing in the era of Covid-19 and the holy month of Ramadan. Many Muslims have been conflicted about what to do during these uncertain times and most mosques have closed due to the virus and that makes it increasingly difficult for Muslims to practice their faith during this holy month. Well, a community in our own country is putting together what they feel may be a solution to help keep Muslims safe and allow them to practice their religion as well. This article from WCCO CBS Minnesota tells about the plans that community and city leaders in Minneapolis have to keep those who observe Ramadan safe. “Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says the city worked with leaders in the Muslim community to have the “call to prayer” broadcast by speaker five times a day in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood”. The Minneapolis community is doing their best to make sure that their Muslim residents can properly observe their holy month as well as obey the social distancing guidelines. I think this is some great initiative on behalf of the Minneapolis community leaders and I feel it should be something that gets done all throughout the country.
