Our Story.
When we became parents one of the things that was really important to us was to practice our faith with our children. It was 2014, the Summer was just starting, and with Ramadan around the corner we were desperately seeking programs where we could benefit with our children, together in the same space. We were looking for a space that was warm and inviting, and programming that was spiritually uplifting. Close friends and other families we knew were also in a similar dilemma. There was nothing being offered in the local area, bringing together all members of a family – and we realized in that moment, it was time for a change.
We kicked off the first family-focused Ramadan Taraweeh program in Howard County that Summer. We kept the Taraweeh program short, being mindful of families with young children. Only 1/2 a Juz was recited nightly with a break in the middle for a short talk for reflection. This break gave families a chance to grow together. Our program resonated with many hearts and through word of mouth, grew quicker than we ever imagined.
Today our Ramadan Taraweeh program continues to embody who we are and our values at Muslim Family Center.
