Events and dates
The rhythm of the week, and of the year.
Muslim life in Pueblo gathers around a weekly anchor, Jumu’ah, and a yearly rhythm of Ramadan and the two Eids. Here is when they fall, calculated in advance, with a calendar your phone can follow.
The Islamic year ahead
Dates to know
By the Fiqh Council of North America calendar, which many American masjids follow. A masjid that begins months by local moon sighting may be a day apart, especially for Ramadan and the Eids, so confirm with the masjid the week before.

What each one is
A short guide to the year
Ramadan
A month of fasting from dawn to sunset, extra night prayers called taraweeh, reading the Quran, and generosity. Ramadan in Pueblo.
Eid al-Fitr
The festival that ends Ramadan: the Eid prayer in the morning, new clothes, visits, gifts for children, and a required charity for the poor, zakat al-fitr, given before the prayer.
Day of Arafah
The high point of the Hajj pilgrimage. Muslims who are not on Hajj often fast this day, one of the most rewarded fasts of the year.
Eid al-Adha
The festival of sacrifice, remembering Abraham’s devotion: the Eid prayer, and for those who are able, a sacrifice whose meat is shared with family, friends, and the poor.
Islamic New Year
The first of Muharram, marking the Prophet’s migration from Makkah to Madinah. A quiet day of reflection rather than a celebration for most Muslims.
Ashura
The tenth of Muharram. Many Muslims fast it, often with the day before, recalling the day God saved Moses and his people.
Community gatherings
Pueblo Islam does not run events. Gatherings at the masjid, such as iftars, Eid prayers, and classes, are announced by the masjid, so ask there or check its screen. When we hear of a public gathering, community updates subscribers hear about it too.
