Ramadan
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and is considered one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Qur’an and observe a strict fast from dawn until sunset. They are not allowed to eat or drink (even water) during daylight hours.
Ramadan is a month of intense spiritual rejuvenation with a heightened focus on devotion, during which Muslims spend time reading the Qur’an and performing special prayers. Sick, elderly people, and children are exempt from fasting if they are unable to do so.
Iftar (Feeding the Fasting):
Daily Iftar meals are provided to Masjid attendees, community members, their families, travelers, and students. We break our fast and pray together, sharing food, smiles, and joy.
Taraweeh
Taraweeh is a night prayer that takes place after Isha and before the Witr prayer. It is an opportunity for Muslims to seek blessings and solace after a day of struggle. The distinguishing feature of Taraweeh is the prolonged recitation of the Qur’an, with the goal of completing the entire Qur’an by the end of Ramadan.
Itikaf
Itikaf is another important feature of Ramadan. It occurs during the last ten days of Ramadan. It is an established Sunnah, and believers are encouraged to observe Itikaf.
Tahajjud
Tahajjud is the recitation of the Qur’an and prayers during the night. During Ramadan, Tahajjud is considered particularly meritorious, so Muslims often spend these nights in mosques praying and reciting the Qur’an until dawn.
Charity
Muslims are urged to be charitable at all times, but during Ramadan, they are encouraged to be even more so. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to give away much during the month of Ramadan.
Zakat al-Maal:
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with prayer, fasting, pilgrimage (Hajj), and belief in Allah (SWT) and His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Every sane, adult Muslim who owns wealth above a certain amount—known as the niqab—must pay 2.5% of that wealth as zakat.
Fidyah
Fidyah is a donation of money or food made to help those in need. Fidyah is given when someone cannot fast for the required number of days and will not be able to make up the fast. During Ramadan, Fidyah must be paid for each missed fast.
Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana)
A special mandatory charity, Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana), must be paid by the head of the family on behalf of every dependent member during the month of Ramadan or before the Eid al-Fitr prayers. Dependents include all children, even those born during the month of Ramadan before the Eid prayers. It is also to be paid on behalf of helpers and/or parents who are financially supported by the head of the family.
