    What is Ramadan?

    Ramadan is the special month when Muslims fast from dawn until sunset. It's the month Allah gave us the Quran!

    Quran 2:185

    Why do we fast?

    Fasting helps us feel grateful for our food, remember the poor, and grow closer to Allah.

    Quran 2:183

    How long is Ramadan?

    Ramadan is 29 or 30 days — depending on when we see the new moon. Then it's Eid!

    Eat Suhoor

    Wake up before Fajr and eat a meal called Suhoor. The Prophet ﷺ said there is blessing in Suhoor.

    Bukhari #1923

    Open fast with dates

    When the sun sets, break your fast with dates and water — just like the Prophet ﷺ did.

    Bukhari #1957

    Dua at Iftar

    Right when you break your fast, say: 'Dhahaba-dh-dhama-u wabtallatil-'urooqu wa thabatal-ajru inshaa Allah.'

    Bukhari #1957

    What breaks the fast?

    Eating, drinking on purpose, or being unwell can break the fast. Forgetting and eating? Allah has fed you — keep going!

    Bukhari #1933

    Who doesn't have to fast?

    Little kids, sick people, travelers, very old people, and mums who are pregnant or nursing — Allah is so kind.

    Gates of Jannah Open

    In Ramadan, the gates of Jannah open, the gates of the Fire close, and the chained-up devils can't bother us as much!

    Bukhari #1899

    Pray Taraweeh

    After Isha prayer, Muslims pray extra prayers called Taraweeh and listen to the Quran.

    Quran every day

    Many Muslims try to read the whole Quran in Ramadan — even one page a day adds up!

    Quran 2:185

    Laylatul Qadr

    One special night in the last 10 days of Ramadan is better than 1,000 months! Look for it on the odd nights.

    Quran 97:3

    Dua of Laylatul Qadr

    Say: 'Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'annee' — O Allah, You love to forgive, so forgive me!

    I'tikaf

    Some Muslims stay in the masjid for the last 10 days of Ramadan — only worshipping Allah. The Prophet ﷺ did this every year.

    Bukhari #2026

    Zakat al-Fitr

    Before Eid, every Muslim gives food to those in need so everyone can celebrate.

    Bukhari #1503

    Eid Takbeer

    On the way to Eid prayer, we say loudly: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar wa lillahil-hamd.'

    Eid al-Fitr!

    After Ramadan, we celebrate Eid! We pray a special prayer, wear nice clothes, and visit family.

    Eid Prayer Steps

    Eid prayer is two rak'ahs with extra takbeers, followed by a khutbah — outside or in the masjid.

    Two Eids a Year

    Muslims have two Eids: Eid al-Fitr after Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha during Hajj when we remember Ibrahim ﷺ.

    Six Days of Shawwal

    Whoever fasts Ramadan and then six days of Shawwal is rewarded as if they fasted the whole year!
