Ramadan, 1447 AH
Stay up to date during our 2026 holiest month in Islam
February 17-18th to March 18-20th
Assalamu alaykum,
We hope you are doing well.
Taraweeh will be hosted at Tajweed Institute, in addition to most other Ramadan events. Make sure you come early, as overflow will have to be outside the masjid.
Updates will be sent out to our respective WhatsApp channels, and this page will see continuous updates as well.
Print our Ramadan 2026 calendar if you wish to track adthan and iqamah times day by day.
Volunteering is essential to our operations. You can apply at our volunteering page.
Donations are encouraged. We're aiming to raise funds to cover our entire year of operations, which includes repairs, rent, staffing, and other bills. These costs are a foundation to our events, which engage with younger and older Muslims, and encourage non-Muslims to take on the oath.
You who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may be mindful of God.The Quran
Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.The Prophet (ﷺ)
Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn't answered, email us at info@tajweedusa.org.
Where can I receive updates?
We send updates to two WhatsApp channels. One is for regular Ramadan updates, and another is for prayer time updates.
When will Ramadan start?
The first night could either start on February 17th or 18th. A confirmation will be sent out on the 17th, God willing, on our WhatsApp channel, and our website will updated.
It's ambiguous since per Islamic tradition, we have to physically sight the new moon to commence the new month after the 29th day of Shaban (February 17th). If no moon is sighted, Ramadan will start after the 30th day of Shaban (February 18th).
How can I prepare for Ramadan?
Shaykh Salah as-Sawi will be hosting an event just to answer this question on February 13th after Isha, inshallah.
Dr. Ra'ed al-Rosan's khutbah, made on January 23rd, is also excellent.
How does Ramadan work?
On the first night of Ramadan, which as of 2026, is either February 17th or 18th, we'll be praying the long nightly prayer after Isha, called Taraweeh, at Tajweed Institute.
It's custom to then wake up slightly before fajr to eat, as our fasting starts then. Until Maghrib, we cannot eat or drink unless medically necessary.
After Maghrib, the second night of Ramadan begins, and we break our fast traditionally by eating dates.
After eating, one may go to the masjid until Isha to prayer the Taraweeh prayer once again. This cycle is repeated until the end of Ramadan.
Beyond this routine, we're to hold our tongue and keep in the remembrance of God. This strict observation is not for temporary piety, but it's done to discipline our heart and the soul, and in doing so, retain a permanent habit, forever elevating our rank even if slightly, inshallah.
