Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. As it follows the lunar cycle, the month of Ramadan rotates by approximately 10 or 11 days each year, depending on the sighting of the moon. The month itself is also split into three periods of ten days, called Ashra, which literally means ‘ten days’. Each Ashra has its own particular focus and prayers. We too will use the three Ashra to help guide our prayers and reflections this month.
Below you can find out extended prayer blogs for each of the three Ashra, featuring exclusive content.

Eid-al-Fitr is the act of celebration following a month of fasting. Join us as we embrace some of the cultural aspects of Eid, and pray for those gathering together for this holiday.
Here you can find prayer prompts, an Eid recipe, and shared memories from friends who've lived in the Middle East.
