Happy Ramadan!

August 1st, 2011

Wishing you a blessed Ramadan. The holy month has arrived, a time for compassion and reflection.  Faith, family and food! 

This is a quilted wall hanging I made years ago in Seattle to make my home more festive during the month of Ramadan.

    What does mubarak mean?

    @Carla Stern MUBARAK shares the same root as the words mabruuk (congratulations) and barakat (blessings). In my mind it means “Have a blessed Ramadan” or “Ramadan greetings.” We also use the greeting EID MUBARAK at Eid time. Maybe a native speaker can shed more light….

    Did you convert to Islam when you married a Muslim man? Or were you raised Muslim? Are you raising your kids Muslim? Just wondering, Kirsten from Gotham Workshops.

    @Kirsten Hello & thanks for stopping by. After being married nine years to a Muslim man and doing lots of studying, I decided to convert. And yes, we are raising our children as Muslims.
