Correction about Tues. at noon
*Food for Thought**: Self-Restraint in & out of Ramadhan**
Tuesday, September 11 , 2007 at Noon at the Asian American Cultural Center
*What to know more about Ramadhan? Come and join the discussion about
self-restraint and goals in action during Ramadhan led by a representative
from the Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic
Center<http://cimic.prairienet.org/>.
Learn more about the Muslim tradition of Ramadhan and about fasting. What is
missed by the mind when one doesn't fast? And what does the mind and heart
miss when one does? What statement does the month of Ramadhan make about
the nature of the world itself?
