The Glossary

Words Your Neighbors Should Know

A brief, essential guide to the words that hold a whole culture.

Inshallah

God willing. Also: we'll see. Also: absolutely not. Context is everything.

Mashallah

God has willed it. Used when something is beautiful, impressive, or when someone's baby is ugly and you need a graceful exit.

Habibi / Habibti

My love. Term of endearment for everyone -- your cousin, the cashier, a stranger who held the door.

Alhamdulillah

Praise be to God. The universal Muslim response to How are you? Used for good news, bad news, and everything in between.

Barakallah

May God bless you. What Muslim grandmothers say 47 times per visit.

Jumu'ah

Friday prayer. The weekly gathering. Also the reason Muslim office workers block their calendars at noon on Fridays.

Eid

The holiday. There are two. They involve prayer, food, new clothes, and more food. Non-Muslims are always invited. Bring an appetite.

Ramadan

The holy month of fasting from dawn to sunset. The most communal, spiritual, sleepless, and delicious month of the Muslim year.

Mark Your Calendar

Islamic Holidays

The Islamic calendar is lunar. Dates shift each year. The community does not.

Ramadan (9th month)

Ramadan

The holy month of fasting. The whole community comes alive at iftar. Every night feels like a reunion.

Shawwal 1

Eid al-Fitr

The feast after Ramadan. New clothes, prayer, family, food. Infinite food. You earned every bite.

Dhul Hijjah 10

Eid al-Adha

The feast of sacrifice, honoring Ibrahim's devotion. Marks the end of Hajj. Second biggest Eid of the year.

Muharram 1

Islamic New Year

The start of the Hijri calendar. Quiet, reflective. The Muslim New Year has a different energy than Times Square.

Muharram 10

Ashura

A day of fasting and reflection. Observed differently by Sunni and Shia Muslims, but honored across the board.

Rabi' al-Awwal 12

Mawlid al-Nabi

The birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Celebrated with gatherings, nasheed, and gratitude.

Ramadan 27 (approx.)

Laylat al-Qadr

The Night of Power. Better than a thousand months. The night the Quran was first revealed. You want to be awake for this one.

Dhul Hijjah 8-13

Hajj Season

The pilgrimage to Mecca. One of the five pillars of Islam. Two million people. One direction. Unforgettable.

By the Numbers

Muslim Americans, in Context

3.45M
Muslim Americans

The estimated Muslim-American population -- a community that has been part of this country since the earliest days of its founding.

1200s
First Muslims in America

Muslim explorers and enslaved West Africans (many of whom were Muslim) arrived in the Americas centuries before the United States existed.

1929
First Mosque Built

The first mosque built specifically as a mosque in the United States was constructed in Ross, North Dakota. Yes, North Dakota. Allahu akbar.
