Our theme this year is "Ramadan: The Soul's Delight," reminding us that while our bodies weary, our souls thrive in Ramadan. Ramadan is a call to slow down, savor the moments that make up the days of our lives, and enjoy the communion of family and friends at iftar.

We invite you to download your digital copy of Zaytuna's Ramadan prayer and guidebook, "Ramadan: The Soul's Delight" and use our library of Ramadan resources from faculty, including a zakat calculator, to guide your practice this month.
