On November 28, 2001, the USA TODAY featured an article on community meals during Ramadan at a California Islamic center. "Serving food to friends is one way of serving God, says Safi Mosa, 29, who left Afghanistan more than 11 years ago...On weekends during Ramadan, he closes the shop early and heads to the Islamic Center in Hawthorne, Calif., where he and his sisters volunteer to help prepare food for 300. 'I love to serve people,' Mosa says, as a way of 'helping in the name of God.'"
