The Fresno State Library in the United States will host a new exhibit, “Beyond Ramadan: The Heart of Fasting,” from Feb. 27 to March 27. Organized in collaboration with the President’s Muslim Leadership Council, the exhibit aims to educate the campus and community on the spiritual, cultural and communal significance of Ramadan.
This free exhibit highlights the values of fasting, prayer, reflection and charity that define the holiest month in Islam. The exhibit also celebrates the wide range of Muslim students at Fresno State, fostering inclusivity, interfaith dialogue and respect for religious traditions.
The displays, located on the library’s second-floor North Wing Concourse, will open with a special ribbon-cutting event at 1 p.m. on Feb. 27.
Through visuals, artifacts and engaging information, visitors will learn about Ramadan’s impact on both individuals and communities. By exploring how Ramadan is observed worldwide, the exhibit encourages empathy, cross-cultural engagement and meaningful conversations. The project seeks to create a more welcoming and informed campus environment while promoting unity and understanding across different cultural and religious backgrounds.
