Ramadan 2023: Let's Pray

Ramadan is an important month in the Islamic lunar calendar because it is the month in which - according to Islamic theology - the first revelation of the Koran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. During Ramadan all Muslims across the globe are required to abstain from all earthly pleasures - food, water, cigarettes, sexual relations - from sun up to sun down.  Fasting like this during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and it is one of the most important religious and cultural holidays for Muslims.  This year Ramadan runs from March 22nd through April 21st.

Ramadan is a unique opportunity to pray for our Muslim friends and the Muslim world.  There are a host of great resources to help Christians and their churches dedicate time to prayer for the Islamic world during this month.
