SBIA Ramadan Open House Committee

Ramadan Open House

Ramadan is the name of the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar. During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. Ramadan is a special month for Muslims because the Quran was revealed during this month.  For Muslims, Ramadan is a time to practice self-restraint; a time to cleanse the body and soul from impurities and re-focus one’s self on the worship of God.

Mosques around the country hold an Open House during this month and invite neighbors, friends, co-workers and local officials. The open house is typically centered around sunset when the fast is broken. At an open house, guests join their fellow Muslim citizens to get a brief overview of Ramadan and its importance to Muslims, followed by a breaking of the fast. The fast is typically broken by eating a date and drinking some water or juice. Guests can observe the Muslims offering their sunset prayer in congregation, followed by a sumptuous dinner and conversation with their hosts.

Please RSVP to OpenHouse@wvmuslim.org.
