Ramadan in Quarantine 

During Ramadan, Muslims come together to pray, fast, and celebrate the Quran. This year, for the first time in history, Ramadan is being observed in isolation-no mosque, no extended family gatherings, and no traditional Eid celebration.
Sherihan Moustafa, 33, is a Brooklyn-based mother of six and a devout Muslim. She’s also an entrepreneur; her company, Urban Modesty, caters specifically to trendy, modest clothing for Muslim-Americans.
In a new short documentary from The Atlantic, Moustafa and her family explain the challenges of practicing Ramadan during a pandemic. “It’s a test,” she says. “It’s a difficult time to be a mom or to have a business, or any of that. But there are a lot of people that are far worse off.”
Besides, she says, “Ramadan also teaches you to be grateful for everything you have.”
