This is Ramadan in Chicago

We’re about halfway through Ramadan — the Muslim holy month marked by charity, spiritual reflection, and daily fasting. With some 350,000 Muslims estimated to call Chicago and Illinois home, we visited the Muslim Community Center in Old Irving Park for a community iftar. Iftar refers to the evening meal when fasts are broken each day. Host Jacoby Cochran talks with lifelong member Amjad Quadri about what the mosque is serving up and how Ramadan is about more than fasting.
