Ramadan Nights, Qahwa Cafe’s event of the year, returns!
Join us for our third session with Ust. Kouthar Muttardy and Othman Altalib as they discuss “The Redemption”.
We will ask questions such as: How do we repent and rebuild ourselves after we’ve fallen? What do we do if we fall back into sin after we repent? How can we help those around us who are trying to redeem themselves?
This year’s theme is A Life of Redemption, where we will explore the perpetual yet destined cycle of Redemption that defines our actions, our Prophets, our lives, and our Ramadan. Each week of this 4-part series will focus on a different stage of Redemption, highlighting our personal experiences, incorporating key lessons from the story of Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) and his wife Hawwa, and how they reflect our own lives.
Doors open at 10:45pm after Taraweeh with the main event beginning at 11pm in the Main Musallah. Featuring a talk and discussion circles, registration is free but donations are strongly encouraged to help support future Ramadan and year round events for young adults! Tickets will be capped at 600 due to spacing limitations.
Open to young adults ages 18+, this week’s food vendors are Smash’d and Press’d and Melt DMV. Absolutely all are welcome and greatly look forward to your attendance this Ramadan!

Assalamu Alaikam!
Join us for a transformative 4-week journey where we create vision boards for Ramadan and hold each other accountable in reaching our spiritual goals! This is a commitment-based experience, not a one-off or drop-in event, designed to be attended from the very beginning to receive the full impact and benefit. 🌿🌙
Through creative expression, intentional goal setting, and a supportive community, we’ll envision our ideal Ramadan—and thoughtfully document our real journey as it unfolds.
What You’ll Experience: Each Saturday from 12-2 PM, we’ll gather to:
Week 1: Create your Ramadan vision board with guided reflection on spiritual, personal, and community goals
Weeks 2-3: Document your journey with photos, share progress in small accountability groups, and support each other through challenges
Week 4: Compare your vision with your reality, celebrate accomplishments, and reflect on growth together
What You Will Receive:
Two 22 x 28 thick cardstock boards: one to design your dreams, one to capture your lived experience. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful visual testimony of your Ramadan journey and the accountability to make it meaningful.
A notepad: to write notes of new habits inspired by other participants in the series, observations you had throughout Ramadan regarding your vision board, your intentions, goals, etc.
Scissors, glue sticks, and inspirational pictures (to paste on your first vision board for the first session)
All materials provided! Your ticket goes towards thick card-stock boards, magazines, decorative supplies, scissors, glue sticks, and notepads for the series inshallah. Just bring your intentions, an open heart, and a phone to capture moments throughout the week.
This event is open to sisters ages 16+

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.
