The Beautiful Beginning – First 10 Days of Ramadan 2026

February 18th – February 28th, 2026

Welcome to Your Spiritual Awakening

The crescent moon has been sighted, hearts are stirring with anticipation, and the entire Muslim world prepares to embark on the most transformative month of the year. These first ten days aren’t just the beginning of Ramadan – they’re the foundation upon which your entire spiritual journey will be built.

Why the First Ten Days Are So Special

Fresh Beginnings, Pure Intentions. There’s a unique energy in beginnings – that mix of excitement, determination, and hope that fills your heart as you take the first step on a meaningful journey. Your body is learning, your soul is awakening, and every small victory feels like a celebration.

Community Awakening Around the world, 1.8 billion Muslims are beginning this journey with you. From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the quiet villages of Indonesia, from the modern cities of America to the ancient lands of Mecca – we’re all connected in this beautiful rhythm of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

Building Sacred Habits These ten days are when new routines become second nature. The pre-dawn meal becomes a moment of quiet gratitude. The evening call to prayer becomes the sweetest sound of the day. The breaking of fast becomes a celebration of patience and self-discipline.
