Ashura
The 10th of Muharram. For Sunni Muslims, a day of voluntary fasting commemorating Moses and the Exodus. For Shia Muslims, a solemn day of mourning for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein at Karbala.
Mawlid an-Nabi
The birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), observed on 12 Rabi' al-Awwal. Many Muslims celebrate with gatherings, recitations of the Prophet's biography (Seerah), and acts of charity. Observance varies by tradition.
Isra and Mi'raj
The Night Journey and Ascension — commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) miraculous night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and ascension through the heavens. Observed on 27 Rajab with extra prayers and reflection.
Mid-Sha'ban (Laylat al-Bara'ah)
The 15th of Sha'ban, also called the Night of Forgiveness. Many Muslims spend this night in prayer, seeking forgiveness and blessings. Traditions vary by region and school of thought.
Prepare for Ramadan
Sha'ban is the month before Ramadan. Begin preparing spiritually and practically — set intentions, adjust sleep schedules, stock up on essentials, and increase voluntary fasting and prayers.
Ramadan Begins
The blessed month of Ramadan begins. Muslims fast from dawn (Fajr) to sunset (Maghrib), abstaining from food, drink, and other worldly pleasures. A time for spiritual reflection, increased prayer, and charity.
First Friday of Ramadan
The first Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) of Ramadan. Mosques are especially full. Consider attending community iftar and engaging in extra acts of worship. Note: the exact Friday depends on which weekday Ramadan begins.
