Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar observed by Muslims globally with the sighting of the new moon.
Being the holiest month of the year, millions of Muslims strengthen their spiritual health and self-discipline through reflection, fasting, prayer and charity thus allowing themselves to become closer to God.
The end of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the new moon, welcoming the day of celebration called Eid ul-Fitr. This day commemorates the bounty of reward for those who observed the holy month through fasting, prayer, abstaining from negative habits, and stiving to earn the pleasure of God.
1st Day of Ramadan is expected to be March 1
The crescent moon will be looked for on the night of Feb 28. If sighted, Ramadan will begin with the first day of fasting to be March 1st.

Saturdays & Sundays
This Ramadan, unlock the true essence of fasting—Taqwa, the light of Divine awareness. Yet, when the heart hardens, can it truly absorb this light? Inspired by Imam Ibn Al-Mubārak’s timeless wisdom, this class offers a path to softening the heart, melting away layers of heedlessness to create fertile ground for faith, humility, and sincerity.
Discover practices that awaken spiritual sensitivity, allowing your prayers to flow with emotion and your fast to deepen in meaning beyond mere hunger. Let compassion, reflection, and remembrance reshape your connection with Allah, leaving you transformed long after Ramadan’s crescent fades. This is your invitation to a renewed heart, where Taqwa flourishes effortlessly. Join us in reviving the softness that brings true nearness to Allah.
Mondays & Tuesdays
Step into Ramadan with purpose and clarity! Join Ustadh Murad Osman in this transformative journey to unlock the full potential of fasting, worship, and divine rewards. This class will guide you through the virtues, blessings, and immense rewards hidden within each phase of Ramadan—the first 10 days of mercy, the second 10 of forgiveness, and the final 10 of liberation from the Fire.
Learn how to align your mindset, channel your energy, and maximize every moment for spiritual elevation and closeness to Allah. Don’t let this sacred month pass by without tapping into its transformative power! Walk away with practical strategies to cultivate gratitude, devotion, and consistency, ensuring that your Ramadan is not just observed, but truly lived and elevated.
Wednesdays & Thursdays
Join us for a transformative Tafsir class on Surah Al-Kahf, a chapter filled with divine wisdom, protection, and guidance for the end times. Reciting it on Fridays brings a light that extends to the heavens, and its verses serve as a shield against the greatest trial—Dajjal. This class will explore the four profound stories within the Surah: the People of the Cave, the man with two gardens, Musa (‘Alayhisalam) and Khidr, and Dhul-Qarnayn. As tribulations increase, Surah Al-Kahf equips us with the tools to navigate deception, hold onto faith, and seek divine wisdom. Deepen your connection with this blessed Surah and walk with its light in your life.
Saturdays
Sisters ONLY.
Embark on an enriching journey of learning and connection with the Holy Quran!
This class welcomes new Muslims to explore the beauty and power of short chapters (Surahs) of the Quran through guided memorization and proper recitation (Tajweed). Learn to recite with accuracy and reverence, build a strong foundation for your lifelong Quranic engagement, and nourish your faith with timeless verses.
Special Saturday
Worship should not feel burdensome—it should flow effortlessly from the heart. Effortless Worship is a transformative class rooted in Tazkiyah (spiritual purification), designed to make worship, self-improvement, and obedience to Allah easy and natural. By applying timeless principles of purification, this class will help you cultivate love for Allah, devotion to His Commands, and deep connection to the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him). You will learn how to remain in Allah’s presence 24/7, embody mercy and compassion, and refine your soul until worship becomes a source of joy.
As you traverse this path with ease, you will find yourself drawing ever closer to the Divine Pleasure of Allah, the ultimate goal of every seeker. Let worship become effortless—a natural expression of love for your Creator.
