Ramadan 1440/2019: Black Muslims Reflect on the Qur’an – Juz’ 8

This Ramadan is extra special for us as we are celebrating 10 years of Sapelo Square! 🎉🎉 To honor this milestone in our journey of centering Black Muslim histories and experiences, for the month of Ramadan we’re bringing back some of our (and your) favorite reflections. Reminisce with us and if it moves you, share your thoughts in the comments. May your Ramadan be blessed and spiritually fulfilling. 

Please make dua for our brothers and sisters incarcerated, those in Sudan, Palestine, Congo and all enduring injustice, oppression and hardships every single day.
