30 Mosques in 30 States is Aman Ali and Bassam Tariq’s Ramadan road trip across the United States.
Beginning August 11 in New York City, the two will spend each night of Ramadan at a different mosque in 30 states around the country. The two’s 12,000 mile route will essentially take them on an outline of the entire country and conclude in Dearborn, Michigan – home to one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the country.
Muslims for the month of Ramadan are required to fast, going without food or drink from sunrise to sunset. There are an estimated 7 million Muslims living in the United States that come from a wide mix of ethnic backgrounds including African Americans, South and East Asians, Arabs and East Africans.
Day 14 of the Ramadan trip is organic and a reminder to let go of technology in reliance of the natural orders of Allah's planet, place of worship and food. Aman and Bassam headed to New Mexico, the Taha mosque in Santa Fe.
Join the guys on 30 Mosques - 30 States and follow the spiritual ride!
