Your Guide to Ramadan in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is home to a vibrant Somali community, one of the largest in the country, many of whom practice Islam. In addition to the Somali population, many others of different cultures and backgrounds practice the faith as well. After sunrise on Tuesday, April 13th, the greater Muslim community begins observing Ramadan, a month long holy event. Resources in Minneapolis include mosques holding prayer, dine-in and takeout/delivery from halal restaurants, and donations and fundraisers for the local Muslim community.

Islamic Centers and Mosques Holding Prayer

Many mosques have reopened their spaces to allow for social distanced prayers. Masks are usually required and they ask to bring your own prayer rugs and register for your spot online. Please contact individual mosques to learn more about their protocols and restrictions at this time.
