Ahmad Hayat, an assistant professor of Journalism and Electronic Media at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, says watching television is a common leisure activity after iftar — the fast-breaking meal after sunset.

CBC Ottawa’s Halima Sogbesan shares the story of one woman’s experience of memorizing the Qur’an.
