Calgary Muslim families has opened their doors since the beginning of Ramadan, inviting their neighbors to share festivities of the holy month and give back to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually wanted people to see what do Muslim people do during Ramadan and how do they break the fast, maybe share some of the spirit of Ramadan,\u201d Polad Mirzayev, a Canadian Muslim in Calgary, told CTV Calgary.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cWe have a lot of stereotypes about Muslims or in general about Islam and stuff and we just want to break the stereotypes because that\u2019s not what it is these days and I want people to feel positive about Islam in general or Muslims in general,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and fasting is a way for worshippers to improve moral character and for spiritual renewal.<\/p>\n
