In order to take part in the celebrations for the month of Ramadan, for the tenth year in a row, Casa Árabe has organized a special schedule of activities to be held in both Cordoba and Madrid from April 2 to May.

As it does every year, Casa Árabe wishes to celebrate this very important month in the Muslim calendar, such a special date for more than 300,000 Andalusian residents and over 2,000,000 Spanish Muslims. The festivities begin with the sighting of the first crescent of the moon (in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar), an event directly linked to cultural and religious roots that is gradually becoming part of our own identity as a multicultural people.

Ramadan, which commences on the upcoming date of April 2 and ends on Monday, May 2, is of obvious religious origins, dating back to 610 BCEwhen, according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad appeared before the archangel Gabriel and revealed the Qur’an to him, the sacred book of Islam. The revelation, on Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Destiny), reportedly occurred during Ramadan.

A lot of water has gone under the bridge since the original idea to very successfully carry out a schedule of events in the neighorhood of Lavapiés (Madrid) in 2007 with the objective of promoting integration and cultural cooperation between citizens co-existing in the same public space. Throughout the various editions held in Madrid and Cordoba, the Nights of Ramadan have grown firmly established as a unique encounter that raises awareness about the culture of the Muslim world, so commonplace in our shared history, allowing some of the people to celebrate their most cherished holiday while others get to share with and learn about their closest neighbors.

Casa Árabe, with the cooperation of the Municipal Government of Cordoba and the Halal Institute/Junta Islámica, have mad

peaceful co-existence, and most especially to the role played by culture in increasing awareness and integration. From April 2 through May 2, the Nights of Ramadan will be the perfect time to get a closer look at the culture of the Muslim world, while learning about others, truly seeing them and mutually enriching each other.

We invite you to discover the full schedule of activities on this website and to congratulate all of the Muslims you meet, as we too shall be doing throughout this month of celebration: ”Ramadan Mubarak.”
