Ellison wishes Happy Ramadan in tweet

One of the two Muslim members of Congress took to his Twitter on Friday to wish fellow Muslims a prayerful Ramadan.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) dispatched a Ramadan message to followers, urging them to fast while thinking about peace and justice in the world.

Ellison tweeted:

Happy Ramadan everyone! Starts tomorrow in N. America. Be fasting with others around the world. Thinking about wellness, peace, justice.

Ramadan is a month-long period on the Islamic calendar of fasting, prayer, and religious study.

The other Muslim member of Congress is Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.).
