The Ramadan Program at Harvard for this year will begin the night of Monday May 6th and continue every night through Monday May 20th . After May 20th, Iftar dinners along with an after-dinner bagged meal for suhur, will be provided in the Adam’s House dining hall to the Muslim seniors of the College who are participating in Ramadan, from May 20th until May 25th. After May 25th, there will be no Ramadan Programming offered due to the lack of space available on campus. 

For the first night of Ramadan, the Ramadan Programming will be Monday May 6th. The Iftar dinner on that night will be fully sponsored by the Harvard Office of the Arts. On that night, the Iftar dinner and the prayers, including Taraweeh Prayer, will be at the Office of the Arts building, located at 74 Mt. Auburn Street. Jack Megan, director of the Harvard Office of the Arts, has graciously requested to host our community in entire building on the first night.

On the second night of Ramadan, Tuesday, May 7th, the Ramadan Programming will be hosted in the Student Organization Center at Hilles (SOCH) located at 59 Shephard Street. On that night, our Iftar dinner will be sponsored by Professor Ousmane Kane and the Islam in Africa Series. On that evening, one hour before iftar, Professor Kane will deliver a lecture at the SOCH, followed by fast breaking, prayer and dinner.

For the remaining nights, Wednesday May 8 to Monday May 20th, the iftar dinners will be sponsored by various persons and the Ramadan Programming will take place in Lowell Lecture Hall, the exact same place as the Friday Prayer (Jumua) service.

The Ramadan Program will take place every night from Monday May 6th to Monday May 20thand will consist of the following:

  1. Fast breaking with water, milk, and dates
  2. Maghrib Prayer
  3. Buffet Dinner (different menu each night) followed by clean-up
  4. Isha Prayer and Taraweeh Prayer

As mentioned early, after May 20th, there will be no Ramadan Programming this year on campus due to the unavailability of any location on or around campus during that time. We are working diligently from now to ensure that we secure a single location next year for the full month of Ramadan Programming on campus. We look forward to seeing you all this Ramadan on campus.
