Ramadan Kareem!  

For Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a spiritual month of fasting and prayer, with a focus on self-discipline, community building and charity work.  

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr, which is a form of Zakat that serves to self-purify and give back to the poor. Zakat al-Fitr is paid before Eid al-Fitr, to ensure that the needy have the means to partake in Eid al-Fitr celebrations. Please see the link below and make your contribution today.

How long does Ramadan typically last?  

Ramadan tends to be 29 to 30 days.  

Why does the dates of Ramadan change every year? 

Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the sun, the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle. This makes the Islamic year about 10 or 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, causing the dates of Ramadan to shift each year.  

When can you eat during Ramadan? 

Muslims begin their fast at sunrise after eating a pre-dawn meal (referred to as suhoor) before the morning prayers (Fajr). The fast is broken at sundown with a meal (referred to as iftar), which is eaten after the evening prayer (Maghrib).  

What day is Laylatul Qadr 2026? And when will it take place?

However, the exact date is unknown, as it could fall on any of the last 10 nights of Ramadan.  

When is Eid al-Fitr 2026? 

Once the month of Ramadan is complete, the blessed day of Eid al-Fitr is celebrated. This year, Eid al-Fitr is projected to take place on Thursday, March 19 or Friday, March 20, 2026.
