Oh, Hey, Ramadan 2026!

**This Ramadan, our community is raising $150,000 to support our expanded space and all the wonderful things happening within our walls. Please consider contributing!**

The time is now….

Ramadān 2026 is projected to start on the evening of Tues, February 17, 2026 for those going by calculations. That means Muslims will be fasting from sun up to sun down, breaking fast together for a communal meal (iftar), and praying special night prayers together (taraweeh). To support you having the best possible Ramadān, Center DC has a few offerings, which you can find and engage with below!

Night Prayers @ Center DC

We’ll be hosting taraweeh prayers EVERY NIGHT at Center DC, inshaAllah.

Taraweeh prayers are open to all, inshaAllah, and will run for approximately 1.5 hours in 20 units of prayer, with a short talk at the 1/2 way point. For those hoping to follow along, the imam will announce which verse he is on before beginning the next prayer cycle.

There is no need to sign up for night prayers to attend, but RSVPing will help us keep track of how many souls we serve. Check the event page for more details on when exactly you can expect prayer to start each night!

Iftars @ Center DC

This year, iftar will be provided EVERY SINGLE NIGHT at Center DC, inshaAllah, thanks to a partnership with the brothers and sisters of Masjid Muhammad, who will be cooking the food each night.

We’ll be asking people to RSVP ahead of time for Iftar to reserve a space, to ensure we have enough food for all! If you go to register and find that it is full, come at your own risk - you may also want to bring your own meal!

*Note: Iftar sign ups open on Friday night the week before @ 12:00am.

This effort is made possible through the generous sponsorship of our friends at the following organizations:

Yep. That’s right. This Ramadān, we are ALSO offering all five of the daily prayers at Center DC: We’ll be open for 15 min before and after Fajr, and from 12pm-10pm daily! Come co-work from our space during the day and pray in congregation with us. It’s a perfect way to stay in community during this blessed month and take full advantage of our new and beautiful space, alhamdulillah!

The DC Iftar League

Every Ramadān, Center DC hosts the DC Iftar League: a peer-led effort to connect community members with each other so that no one has to break fast - and eat dinner - alone. Each league has a different flavor: meeting at a masjid, going to someone’s home, or meeting up in a park or other public space to break bread together. Groups are open to all - please join the ones you are interested in potentially joining + be sure to RSVP to help your host plan for you each week! Are you ready to Ramadān with Center DC? Join groups below.

Friday Remembrance Circles

Join us every Friday after night prayers for a special gathering of remembrance. Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “When you pass by the meadows of Paradise, graze as you like.” They said, “What are the meadows of Paradise?” The Prophet said, “Circles of remembrance.”

Join us every Friday night following Night Prayer (Taraweh) for group remembrance (dhikr) of our Creator . Led by one of our community members, together we will recite following a guide of recommended duas, beautiful Names of Allah, and special verses from the Holy Qur’an. Prayer/dhikr beads are optional and will be made available. Come as you are! For any questions, or special dua requests, contact sinet@centerdc.org.

Fajr Squad

Every morning during the month of Ramadān, Center DC will be hosting a group listening + reflection session on one (1) Juz - one 1/30th - of the Quran. Tune in to read/listen along with us and share in a communal reflection based on what stood out to you. Fajr Squad will take place 15 min. after Fajr comes in (according to North American ISNA times for Washington, D.C.). Join the group below for daily reminders, updated times, resource sharing, group messages and easy access to the link to join!

2. GET INVOLVED!

The more folks we have on our team, the better Ramadan will become, inshaAllah! There are multiple ways to support Center DC’s Ramadān initiatives this year with your service, hosting, and money… just take a look at your options below!

a. Fund Iftar + Taraweeh

Did you know it takes costs us a little over $60k to do Ramadan at Center DC? This fund helps us 1.) pay for the physical space ($400/night), 2.) to cover tea making supplies for the month ($900 for the month) and 3.) to feed ~4,500 fasting people at Center DC iftars EACH NIGHT.
It takes community support to fund the dream. Please give generously - all donations to this particular fund go directly towards our Ramadān fund. 100% of what’s raised goes to feeding people x funding the physical space.

[iftars are now fully funded, alhamdulillah!]

b. Become an Iftar League Host

This is one of our longest running creative solutions to make sure that folks in the DMV don’t break fast alone. Hosts commit to hosting one (1) iftar weekly - either at a masjid meet-up, a restaurant/public space, or their home! It’s a big ask…with even bigger rewards, inshaAllah. This year, we are looking for 14 hosts inshaAllah! Could it be you?

[Hosting is covered!]

c. Join the Ramadān Crew

It takes teamwork to make the dream work, mashaAllah. Our Ramadān offerings require lots of helpful hands to set-up the space, welcome people at the door, help with food, serve tea, and clean-up afterwards. Now is your time to jump in there and join our Ramadān Crew making it all happen. We’re looking for ~20 folks to help serve at our space. Is that you?
