As the sacred month of Ramadan unfolds alongside the Christian season of Lent, two prominent religious leaders are describing the moment as both spiritually significant and socially transformative.
Mufti Mohammad Zaidur Raza, Spiritual Head of the Anjuman Sunnat-ul-Jamaat Association (ASJA), and Reverend and author Clifford Rawlins say the rare alignment offers an opportunity for deeper interfaith understanding and collective spiritual reflection.
Mufti Raza explained that Ramadan, observed according to the Islamic lunar calendar, lasts 29 or 30 days and shifts roughly 10 days earlier each year. Lent, observed by Christians under the Gregorian calendar, lasts about 40 days and culminates in Easter.
