Ever since I heard that Hamtramck, Michigan is America's ONLY Muslim-majority town, I knew that I had to visit (because I love Islam!!) And it turned out to be one of the most incredible experiences that I've had within my own country, the United States of America.

My friend @JessicaKobeissi took me around her stomping grounds to introduce me to the culture that she grew up in, and I was completely amazed. So many Lebanese, Iraqis, Yemenis, Bangladeshis, Somalis, Syrians (etc) all living together in this suburban Michigan town called Hamtramck, along with nearby Dearborn.

I went during the very first day of Ramadan - the holiest month in Islam - and I even participated in the fast myself. Watch until the end to see what is breaking the fast (or iftar) at Jessica's friend's house.

The moral of this story is that America is SO BIG and SO DIVERSE, and there are many micro-communities to be discovered. Would you like to see more stories about the different communities in the USA? Please comment below and let me know - your feedback is so valuable to me. Thank you, and Ramadan Kareem to all who celebrate ❤️

Im muslim convert i live in Serbia and belive me when i say it gets soooo depressevly lonely.. Here are only orthodox christians and in my city there is only one tiny mosque and ppl that come are muslims from turkey usually that doesnt speak serbian and english only turkish. So how i make myself to be less lonely is just to watch tese videos and pray to allah. But at the end not matter how lonely i am specually on ramandan or eid i know allah is allways with me alhamdulillah.

I'm not Muslim but I love the Muslim community. I'm not joking when I say that every Muslim I have met has been wonderful. And I love listening to the call to prayer. It's hauntingly beautiful! This was an excellent video!

If I'm not mistaken, you didn't have to fast at midnight. You could eat up until right before dawn. Ramadan is fasting from sunrise to sunset. AlhamdAllah ❤

To all Muslims around the world, I'd like to wish you a Happy Eid al-Fitr. May you have a blessed, joyful and meaningful celebration on this auspicious occasion with your family and loved ones and may this special day brings you peace, happiness and prosperity. Eid Mubarak! Edit: Thank you to everyone for your warm replies. It's really heartwarming to receive so many of them which I didn't expect at all. I wish you all the best. God bless you!

People don’t realize just how culturally diverse Detroit and the metro area is. Middle eastern, polish, african, hispanic, Albanian, Irish, Ukrainians, Germans, swedish, etc. there’s literally a community of storefronts and homes for each culture and it’s amazing I worked in Dearborn for about a year doing sales and it’s a wonderful area. Being raised Irish Catholic I can’t say I didn’t experience slight culture shock for the first couple weeks just feeling like an outsider in all spaces. But the best part is that the people are all friendly and will treat you like a guest whenever they can. I was fed at just about every single business I walked into, have made good friends with a few customers from way back that I chat with to this day, and learned alot about how beautiful Islam is, especially after being raised by a xenophobic father who desperately failed to brainwash his kids into being anti-muslim catholic extremists

Man started to fast straight at 12 a.m 😭😭😭. He's sooo humble. Actually In Islam, we start our fast right nearly 10 mins before the start of Fajr prayer time

the battle at the checkout between u and Jessica over who's paying was so funny and cute. i'm Iranian and that resonates since it's a big part of our culture's etiquette too. i've been physically thrown back into my chair by Irani friends the moment i tried to grab the check 😂
