Well also include our 4thannual Ramadan Madness, a fun and engaging team-based competition. Teams will compete to accumulate points through weekly games, with exciting prizes for weekly winners and a grand prize for the top-performing team at the end of Ramadan.

To make this experience even more fulfilling, well explore four key themes throughout Ramadan:

  3. The Blessing of Seeking Knowledge (Ilm)

  4. Gratitude and Contentment (Shukr)

Iftaar will be provided and catered by local restaurants to share and enjoy together after Maghrib prayer.
