109: Ali Bhatti on Ramadan and how his faith guided him through deep loss

Audio

Description

Yesterday at sunset marked the start of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic calendar. For Ali Bhatti, a Ph.D. candidate in science and math education at UC Berkeley, it’s a time to feel closer to God, to break habits and to remember what he’s thankful for. In this episode, Ali describes, in his own words, what the month means to him. He also talks about how 9/11 shaped his childhood in New Jersey, finding his Muslim community at Berkeley and how Islam, and the support of his family and Berkeley community, helped him get through the hardest time of his life.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2023/03/23/ali-bhatti-on-ramadan-and-his-faithPhoto courtesy of Ali Bhatti.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.
