The Works of the Heart
Cultivating Prophetic Virtues in Ramadan
Ramadan is more than abstaining from food and drink—it is a season for cultivating the heart.
Prophetic Virtues: The Works of the Heart in Ramadan is a four-weekend, multi-location Ramadan series exploring the inner acts of worship that give fasting its meaning and lasting impact. Anchored in foundational Prophetic teachings, the series focuses on four essential virtues: Sincerity (Ikhlāṣ), Reliance upon Allah (Tawakkul), Gratitude (Shukr), and Hope in Allah’s Mercy (Rajāʾ).
This program will feature 10 scholars and teachers and will take place across all six ADAMS locations throughout Ramadan. Attendees are welcome to attend any session, at any location, based on availability and preference.
Session Schedule
Saturdays after Ḍhuhr (iqāmah at 1:30 PM) at Sterling, Fairfax, Leesburg, Sully, and Gainesville
Sundays after Ḍhuhr at Ashburn
One theme per weekend, repeated across locations with different speakers
Whether you attend one session or follow the entire series, this program is designed to help you move beyond outward observance toward inner renewal—and to carry the fruits of Ramadan well beyond the month itself.
