Ramadan 2026

Ramadan Mubarak from Masjid DarusSalam! Based on the declaration from Chicago Hilal Committee, Ramadan will begin on Wednesday, February 18th, with the first Taraweeh prayer taking place on Tuesday, February 17th.

Ramadan is the month of conquering the soul and gaining victory through the attainment of taqwa. This Ramadan, our aim as a masjid and community is to facilitate a transformative journey for every individual and family. Through our various programming, we will first reflect on our challenges, then renew our purpose, and finally rebuild by setting a clear path towards personal and spiritual growth.

Dispense your Zakat

It is narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (RA) said:

"Become a scholar; if not possible, then become a full-time student; if not possible, then become a part-time student; if not possible, then become a supporter of students of knowledge. But do not be in any fifth category." (Sunan Darimi)
