Ramadan: The Month of the Qur’an

“Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the decisive authority. So whoever is present this month, let them fast. But whoever is ill or on a journey, then let them fast an equal number of days after Ramadan. Allah intends ease for you, not hardship, so that you may complete the prescribed period and proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you, and perhaps you will be grateful.” [Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah (2:185)]

Revitalize your soul by fasting, performing Umrah, praying and reciting the Qur’an!

A unique program designed to maximize the benefits of Ramadan: The Prophet ﷺ said, “When Ramadan comes, go for Umrah, for Umrah in that month is equivalent to Hajj.” [Sahih al Bukhari (1782) and Sahih Muslim (1256)]

Program Features:

  • Perform Umrah with an Experienced Guide

  • Qur’an Recitation Lessons: Join lessons to learn the art of recitation of the Qur’aan, both individually and as a group – available for men and women!

  • Contribute to and join the community in Makkah for iftaar: Take part in the blessed act of sharing iftaar with the less fortunate in Makkah.

  • Experience i’tikaaf at Masjid al-Haram under the guidance of an experienced leader. However, please note that obtaining a permit is required for participation, and permits are granted at the discretion of the Saudi authorities. The process for applying for permits typically begins about a month prior to Ramadan, but it’s important to keep in mind that permits are not guaranteed and can be difficult to obtain.

This program is crafted to deepen your connection with Allah, maximize your spiritual rewards, and embrace the blessings of Ramadan.
