As the holy month of Ramadan approaches in 2026 (1447 AH), the spiritual atmosphere in Syria is palpable, as mosques become filled with worshippers attending Taraweeh and Night prayers. Many mosques are organizing events aimed at completing the Quran, either during these prayers or in the last ten nights of Ramadan, a time significant for such spiritual undertakings. Despite facing numerous challenges in recent years, there is a noticeable increase in the Syrian people's commitment to participating in religious practices, which enhances their social and spiritual connections.

The Syrian Ministry of Awqaf has launched the 'Faith Unites Us' campaign this year, intended to facilitate a comprehensive Quran completion across dozens of mosques, with 50 mosques in Damascus alone being part of the initiative. Alongside Quran recitations, the campaign includes educational programs and religious lessons, reflecting a concerted effort to enrich the community's spiritual life during this holy month. This emphasis on education and communal prayer exemplifies a revival of religious life amid adversity.

This report highlights five prominent mosques and their respective imams in Damascus, Hama, and Idlib, delving into their history, the backgrounds of their imams, and the reasons they attract significant congregations. The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus stands out as a historical and spiritual icon, with over 1300 years of history, initially serving as a temple to the ancient god Hadad and later as a Roman temple. These mosques and their leaders not only serve as places of worship but also as centers of community gathering and cultural heritage, reinforcing the resilience and unity of the Syrian people during Ramadan.
