Ramadan is one of the holiest months for Muslims around the world. It is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Muslims engage in increased prayer, recitation of the Quran, and engage in acts of charity and kindness. The month of Ramadan concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a holiday marking the end of the fasting period, during which Muslims come together for special prayers, feasts, and giving of gifts.

Due to ongoing anti-2SLGBTQIA+ prejudices in mainstream Muslim communities in the GTA (and beyond), hundreds of queer Muslims will need safe, affirming, inclusive, joyful space to celebrate Ramadan in community that welcomes both their Muslimness and their queerness (using ‘queer’ as an inclusive and expansive umbrella term for 2SLGBTQIA+ identities).

In 2025, Ramadan will begin on March 1st, 2025 and end on March 31st, 2024. The Queer Muslim Network, a grassroots organization founded in 2020 and powered entirely by passionate volunteers who are full-time students or workers. is planning 3 distinct events to celebrate Ramadan with the 2SLGBTQIA+ Muslim community (and friends!) from the Greater Toronto Area.
